    People who need to be told what to think.

    the answer is not blaming everything on everyone else. the answer is just doing what is right in your heart. You know it. You don't need some politician or movie star to tell you.

    The answer lies in our own hearts, what we know is right. To love, oh my, to love.

    We will never find peace in some 'come along' policician. Not one of today, or one of tomorrow, nor one of the past. We have to be good to ourselves and care for those we love. No Gov't can ever do that for us. Any Gov't who claims they can for us, run away from them, for they are liars and cheats.

    You have highlighted the problem. Too many Americans either need or want to be told what to think. That is the absolute only way a society can become this polarized. The donkephant's stranglehold on power is based upon a house of cards and requires that the people are lazy, sheepish and above all NEVER judge the "unholy two" collectively for their constant abject failure. We elect them to manage a country and they can't even balance a budget DESPITE the largest revenue stream in the world! It gets worse from there.
    All we literally need is for people to use a few keystrokes to access the ideas and platforms of other parties, non-party ideas, the Constitution, real facts about politicians and how they spend your money etc. This way we could have more ideas, less lockstep polarization and better citizens.
