Joe Biden campaigned on unity and restoring the soul of this nation. This theme was evident in his inauguration speech but it appears that Biden struck a nerve with a lot of people on the right AND left. I also see several members of PaRD complaining about Biden already.

So I have to ask....what does unity look like to YOU?

To me, unity means focusing on the things that we have in common more than divisive issues. I think most Americans can agree that we need to be vaccinated against COVID ASAP. I think most Americans can agree that we need some sort of economic relief. I think most Americans can agree that we need to tone down the rhetoric.

Having said that, I don't expect either side to give up their principles in the culture war. For example, we shouldn't expect Democrats to try and take a few wins on abortion. I also don't think it's divisive to roll back certain parts of Trump's legacy that were unpopular with the majority of the country.

Anyway, I want to know what actions would be unifying and what would be divisive in your eyes.


Not banning people from platforms because of abstract notions of conformity guised with fear mongering claims of violence.

I'm simply not interested in common ground - with Republicans or Democrats. Until the duopoly is gone, nothing's gonna change. I think I'm just gonna sit back and watch them burn this shit to the ground. Sweep up the ashes, and form a better society after.


Exactly how i see things. I don't believe in political spectrums as it's made to divide people like religion and others hot topics.

Everyone of us or i wish to believe that most people can use their judgment to make the difference between good and evil without the need of politicians.

Rapist? Bad = Jail or Death sentence
Killer? Bad if the killing wasn't self defense = Jail or death sentence.
Thief? Bad and should result in jail sentence or removal of his hands.
Serial killer? Public execution
Serial rapist? Public execution


Life is evil in many ways and the sooner people realize what's life, what's in it and knows the extreme, the sooner that person will be able to question things and make their own judgment by what's in front of them. Right now MSM have too much influence and most people can't make their own ideas so they will cherry pick what's on tv.

One thing i respect from the middle east are the public executions. sure the reasons might be wrong sometimes and i condone that but when it's a solid motive, it make people understand that if you wanna fuck it up real good, there's real consequence.

Just look at Epstein/Guylaine and the other filt who own pedophile rings around the world. People want to see them jailed. Why the fuck should tax payers pay for these people. Execute them. They ruined and traumatized underage girls forever. There's many things that need to change and for that, people need to understand shit the way they are asap. Otherwise, it'll be a circlejerk of tax payers $ going left and right for things we could avoid by using our head and logic.

Lot of people cost $ to the tax payers by doing the same shit over and over not caring bout going to jail . That cost lot of $ to the tax payers. You can make ppl think twice before they commit some dark shit.

In my eyes, unity is a society coming together to achieve a common goal. I do not see this whatsoever, actually, I have never seen it. To them its all money money money, and for us its work work work. So if there was a common goal, it would be within the elite, and that would to be; enslave the populace and make money. Disrupt them when theyre correct, polarize them and play the game of controversy. It has nothing to do with political agenda nor policies. It all has to do with personal agenda, what do YOU want to accomplish as a career politician. How MUCH money do you want to make, do you CARE? if your hands get dirty?
Its all no good, its all nasty, its all perverted, and its all disgusting.
I could support actual unity, like a society ALL coming together for one common goal, example: space exploration, betterment of the world, or something awesome.
But this power seeking, money grabbing, cancer has to go if we ever want these common principles, LIBERTY, FREEDOM, JUSTICE
amongst other american ideals. This country is not what it once was, and will never will be the same, money corrupted our insides a long time ago. Church is definitely separate from state, all those fucks up there will prolly go to hell for their sins, ESPECIALLY when it comes to money!

i think we can all agree that Sunnyvale is an idiot.



I got a 30 minute vacation for similar musings. Not only is he a knuckle dragger, he’s a snowflake.
