There's been a whole lot of fun banter on Tman about D's and R's and such.
But, could it be that we've reached the point in our nation, where the political "party" that any political candidate claims to be involved with actually falls beneath a bigger category which is either;
Humanism defined as;
An outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems. Humanism is a Renaissance cultural movement which turned away from medieval scholasticism and revived interest in ancient Greek and Roman thought.
and/or
Progressivism defined as;
A way of thinking that focuses on social progress. It is a philosophical movement and political movement. The idea of progress is the belief that human society is improving over time.
I think most of our people, from whom the political pool comes from obviously are now DEVOUT humanists and progressivists so....
D or R doesn't really matter or look much different to us, the voters, because our politicians are more progressive and humanist than they are either Democrat or Republican.
Same as the majority of this nation's population here in the 21st century.
Politicians come from the ranks and reflect those they represent.
2022 is no different than 1776.
But the people have changed. At a fundamental level of where we seek answers, and our nation is now harvesting what has been sown by those who preceded us just as we are sowing for those who will come after us. Legacies matter.
They always have.
It's easier when you realize the direction all this is headed on the train tracks.
Blessings,
