Think of today's polarized political divide pretty much right down the middle 50/50. The debates are going no where because it's considered socially impolite to discuss politics/religion in a social setting; and most definitely not in a business/working environment. Now think of a chemistry experiment where you have two chemicals (Republicans and Democrats) mixed together but nothing's happening. But if you mixed in a third chemical, a Progressive or a Liberal, all of a sudden you have a lively debate...?
As most people, even the Progressives and the Liberals, most definitely the Liberals, pick their battles, you may or may not get a debate started. The hardest part is getting the first two ingredients together in an environment willing for geniune discussions with geniune results.
All I hear is justifying, justifying, justifying.

Let me try using the three wise monkeys. They generally mean being of sound mind, body, and action. Set the example for others to follow. They can also mean looking the other way, refusing to ackowledge, feining ignorance. In other words, what's the point of our first bunch of monkeys (those leaning left e.g. our Liberal Elite) taking a step in the right direction if that's as far as they are going to get with our second bunch of monkeys (those leaning right e.g. Religious Right and/or Neo-Conservative Business Interest) paying no attention to our first bunch of monkeys.
So...
this calls for a third set of monkeys, an example of the uber significance of the number "3" in numerology, the "political catalyse": those people loaded with empathy, willing, as well as able (takes financial security), to be confrontational with humility and honesty at all times.
1. Calling out people's behavior anywhere, anytime, and letting them know it did not go unnoticed.
2. Letting them know it was not acceptatble.
3. Not to be tolerated as long as we are able having anything to say or do about it.
In other words, Anti-Christ is nothing more than W.W.J.D. today.
WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

Get the political catalysemug. An over-excessive proganda warfare in which supporters from one party (i.e. Democrats or Republicans) will try to convert others from the opposing party onto their side. This in turn upsets the opposing party and causes a similar reaction.
In the end, the only one who truly benefits from such underhanded means of attempting to get into the office is the media. This includes, but is not limited to, both American, Foreign, and Alien news outlets.

Get the American Politicsmug. Reddit's largest left wing echo chamber. Users will refuse to listen to anything that doesn't fall in line with the Democrat's narrative, that includes viewpoints from the middle of the road, libertarians and conservative viewpoints. Any dissent will be met with a cascade of negative karma or even a moderator banning you.
People dont go to r/politics to discuss differing viewpoints. They come to have their biases confirmed.

Get the r/Politicsmug. Irrational behavior by politicians who mischaracterize their behavior as a calculated change from the politics as usual. In practice the behavior is often inconsistent or bizarre and can be seen by many rational observers as a freak show. However, there are some people who want to believe there is substance despite being illogical and the evidence to the contrary.
Bush's compassionate conservativism was a new version of "politics as unusual" as it was neither compassionate nor conservative but instead was inconsistent with the core values of compassion and conservatism.
Sarah Palin has created a cliché of "politics as unusual" with her bizarre behavior, and unusual characteristics which she tries sell as a preferred moral and ethical alternative.
Sarah's ability to explain her foreign policy credentials ("you can see Russia from Alaska...", "Russian diplomats fly over Alaska on their way to the USA...") in a way that would be impressive to the average KMART shopper.
Sarah has made parents of minor unwed mothers who are still in high school the ideal candidate for family values.
Sarah said a Governor should resign when under fire to save the government cost providing information on ethic violations to the public becomes too high.

Mike: "Why are they giving all those kids minors? They weren't even acting drunk."
Luke: "It's all political bullshit."

Get the Polite Gravmug. "It was freezing outside last night, and John offered me his sweater, but boyfriend politics made me take Ann's instead, even though it wasn't as warm."
