Unbreaking America: Divided We Fall
YouTube ^ | 12/9/2019 | represent.us

Posted on 12/15/2019 5:23:28 PM PST by Beave Meister

Our government is broken, and we have to fix it. In this short film, Michael Douglas and RepresentUs Co-Founder Joshua Graham Lynn break down how our political system has been hijacked, why it encourages division and vilifies bipartisan cooperation, and why it’s made Congress so dysfunctional that they can’t even pass the most basic laws to improve the lives of Americans.

It’s not all doom and gloom. They also layout the plan to fix our broken political system, and the best part: It’s already working. RepresentUs members have already helped win more than 100 victories nationwide, but to bring about lasting systemic change, we need more people to join this movement.

I watched this video, but when they got to the point of "Vote From Home" elections, they lost me. What could possibly go wrong with that.

vilifies bipartisan cooperation

Their definition of "Bipartisan" means Republicans voting WITH the democrats for democrat causes.

“Our government is broken, and we have to fix it.”

No, we don’t have to “fix it,” we have to abolish it. It is our right, it is our DUTY.

“When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary...“

The current federal government has become completely corrupt to the core and is incorrigible. It is illegitimate in light of the Constitution. We separated from an earlier power for far less.

Me too. I would’ve thought he’d be delighted with the way country has gone in the last 50 years.

Great for the Left; not good for the Right...

Same here. I wonder though, if I am the only person who think his wife is a not so good actress?

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one's own family. 

Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.

Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse.

Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse.

And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday's Diversity is today's intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.

That video may have been uploaded in the last few days but it must have been produced in 2011. At one point Douglas said “this is where we are today” with a chart labeled 2011 behind him.

An awful lot has happened since then.

The way to fix it is to crush and suppress the progressives who have hijacked our culture. Let them flee to Canada one step ahead of the pitchforks.
