Thread Name: BS: NON-Partisan political comments
Subject: RE: BS: NON-Partisan political comments
Politics by nature is partisan. A non-partisan comment is not a comment about politics.

A person who is not involved in politics is probably in no position to comment about it because they probably don't know much about it.

A cross platform response could be made that:
1. Politics is bought, these days. More public financing and media time would help
both parties.
2. Having a workable economy would help both parties, the working and the investor
class.
3. A concentration on issues rather than ad hominem personal attacks would be
more useful for society.
4. Reactivating civics classes in the school system would enable citizens to be
better informed.
5. American citizens should be required to read the US Constitution.
6. De-emphasizing personalities in favor of those who have the real requirements
for political office would solve a lot of disputes and bring forth political executive
talent.
