Tim Walz: People are Sick of Dems' "Strongly Worded Letters"

[OldBaldy1701E]

53. I agree with you.

However, there is a big difference between 'circular firing squad' and 'debate'.

There have been too many times that I have seen 'debate' quashed because it questions the basis for things we have. Well, that is why the debate has to happen. Otherwise, we are just an 'echo chamber' that accomplishes nothing.

Blind conformity is one the things that put us here. I will not participate in such a thing.

I will question anything that does not make sense to me. If the others don't want to explain it, then I will see about finding out.

But, I will not participate in an 'echo chamber'. Just because it has a 'D' beside it does not automatically mean it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. And, I will not act like that for any reason (other than getting something that meets that criteria). The Democratic Ideal is a great thing. But it is still an abstract ideal because of our society and how it operates. It can never be implemented because our very way of life is not analogous with that ideal. And, because of that same way of life, we cannot question why we cannot fix these things.

This is one of the main reasons why this nation is so screwed up. Blindly following something without discourse or examination. We have done it for too long.

I would add that it is also offensive to suggest that we just blindly follow the current situation as it is without discussing how to break free of the programming and stop these animals from ruining everything. Stopping them is going to include some 'rules breaking'. It will require doing more than maintaining the status quo in Congress.

Stopping the entire thing from ever happening again is going to take some serious consideration and examination for the very foundations of this nation. It will require debate on things that may not have been considered in the past. But, we have little choice. We have to do something. Now.

Will we?
