Good someone suggested this. When I realized that partisan politics are actually just veil to highlight social issues and we're all actually playing on the same team. It made me physically nauseous to see my friends, intelligent people that I respected, be so negative online. It's like they lost all self control with words and could only cuss and scream but no one could articulate how they personally have been affected by the politics. Worse yet, even if people are affected by bad legislature, hardly anyone I know actually has the willpower and ability to go and do something about it. I have an Israeli friend that protested a gas station. There was already one on the block and they wanted to put another one on a different corner. He got signatures from all the surrounding neighbors. Then presented it to City council with the argument that gas stations can only be built if they have 25 feet distance from the nearest residential house. He had both the support of the neighborhood and support of existing laws. The gas station wasn't built.
