      I completely agree. My hope, is that through education, Americans will understand where the other side is coming from and it will bring the two sides closer, not further apart. People typically don’t like what they don’t understand. I know that’s a pipe dream though.

Let’s remember to choose unity; regardless of whether we are Democrats or Republicans, we all want the same thing. We want what is best for our country. Although we have different ideas of how to achieve the best for our country, if we can remember that we have the same common goal in mind and treat each other with kindness and respect, the possibilities are endless for our nation! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

    Your videos are good, but I think it would be better to state a given issue, their desired goal for that issue, and their beliefs about how to best solve that issue kind of how you phrased parts of this.
    The problem with red vs blue is that the values, issues, and problem solving ideas are framed as if one or the other doesn't care or is completely opposed fundamentally, but in reality they frequently disagree about how an issue is defined or even what the best outcome or solution might be. That's why the USA is so divided, because of all these awful politicians and whatnot phrasing things in an us vs them voice.

      Considering the past of the democratic party I won't rush into such connections, the dems after all were also the ones who passed the civil rights act of 1964. In general in the mid to late 20th century dems became more socially liberal and republicans more conservative (and in the 19th century at least until the civil war that meant many times supporting slavery as the dems then were the more conservative), with dems passing the act and republicans such as Nixon and Reagan going more conservative the south that is known to be conservative (and all the shady history of racism and slavery) and used to support dems switched to republicans. And no its not because the south has changed (not that I mean they support slavery or something necessarily but they are still conservative) it is because dems have changed and so the history argument here does not work against dems here.

      "Pro life" is typically where most Republicans stand though and not Democrats. Maybe you should switch parties. A baby is not born at conception though. That is a fetus and not a baby. It could not survive on it's own and you couldn't feed it. Plus the life of a tiny fetus should not supercede the choice of the mother. I don't believe in abortion as a form of birth control but ultimately it should be up to the mother and not the government or the church.

    Why internet hate democrat party by very no reason ,but for me love democrats party over republican party the democrats not support American family values or free market economics, than party save American fruture making American better place with rich income and very educated country, democrats alway something good protecting American fruture making changes better life than past seed something great American like different people, diferente ideology, different gender, different technology and everything different, without democrats party American become third world country without change or act different.
