The battles of the election are in full attack mode.
Some say the election is over, others say its not.
What is the root cause of these battles?
The news is the primary instigator. We receive are daily information in a wide variety of news formats, television, social media, and actual newspapers, all of these and more are affecting how we choose are battles of the debates about our differences.
Now with that said, some people are more prepared for debate than others. And what I mean by debate is the discussion of the current political arguments. I have learned that in any debate one must be able to understand and discuss the opposing viewpoints.
But here is the problem, if the only information received is one-sided you can not begin to understand the opposing viewpoint. And from that point on the battle begins. People involved positions of government i.e., senate, congress and the presidency all have their opinion on how things should be ran, without giving any thought to the people who opposed them. So, to gather their weapons and to strengthen their armies their opinions are given to the news media or the recruiter's.
People have a tendency to believe what they constantly hear or read and anything outside of the "normal news" must be wrong. The only way for the battles to end is a simple understanding of ones point of view. I have had political discussions with those who completely disagree with me, but in the end it usually comes down to respect and a mutual statement of "we agree to disagree".
