I know political discussion is off-limits on this site, but I have something to b*tch about and I don’t think it crosses too much into the extreme to make a point about.

I miss the times when people on the opposite sides of the spectrum would actually listen to the other side’s opinion and try to find a middle-ground. The culture in the USA today is literally like Anakin said: “If you’re not with me… then you’re my enemy!”

It’s sad that opinions need to be hid or people aren’t willing to talk to someone else over something like political ideology. My closest friend just happens to be on the opposite side of my beliefs, and it has been one of the purest and great friendships I have ever had. We challenge each other’s opinions, which in most cases, leads us both to having a better understanding of a political issue and then we try to figure out what could potentially be something that could make both sides happy, or at least accepting of the outcome.

I wish more people would think like us. It is so frustrating being around so many close-minded people.
