Please give your opinions in a respectful manner. It's just a debate, thank you.




I just like hearing different opinions and different arguments (it helps shaping my own opinion on the subject), so the deeper the argumentation, the better! Thank you :)

Though I hate both candidates, I must say this is the most active I've noticed people in my community partaking in politics when they otherwise would not have.
I guess that's the only benefit.

However, It's not just Trump and Clinton that's the issue.

How are we realistically supposed to appeal to most, the US is freaking huge. (How does China manage? Lol) I know liberals tend to look at Euro countries for examples or model from.
So maybe this question is silly, but I've always wondered this even as a child.
How are both major political parties supposed to get along? And then also the growing popularity of 3rd parties and others? How are policies and social norms supposed to be handled to appease all or as many people?
Some people want guns, others want them banned. Some want gay marriage, others dont. Some want capital punishment, others dont. Some want government regulation of companies, others prefer laisez-faire. Some want the environment to be protected while others think profits or oil industries are more important. Some think that its important to protect our most vulnerable and in need like veterans, homeless people, hungry children etc while others are against government intervention in social welfare programs.
I get that voting was supposed to help it, but its extremely difficult for either side to get anything done when the other side constantly blocks them and slows it down. Then, even when let's say something does get passed, people are still sometimes against it and try to stop it (Like Kim Davis, anti-choice people threatening/resorting to violence against PP, people against the NRA or even full out bans).

So realistically, how are politics supposed to be handled when people are so deeply divided and passionate about most issues? This election is getting violent and increasingly divisive, and who knows if itll keep getting worse with upcoming elections or is this near rock bottom?
Do you think there's hope, or will this cause an inevitable split?
