I think the problem with this country right now is that both sides are grandstanding on each and every topic.  Mainstream America is neither Democratic or Republican.  Most Americans are independent, middle of the road types.  People should use their mind and the situation at hand to determine what stand they should take and what decision should be made.  Make a decision based on what political party you belong to is ludicris.  Call me a liberal Republican or a conservative Democrat, I really don't care.  But do call me an independent self thinking American.

You came only to bash, not to find a real answer. If the democratic faithful were as active as they are vocal, perhaps they could win some congressional power and seat a president. You can help them, volunteer for your party and spread a message of positive solutions or just sit on your hands and whine.

What you want is what everyone in the U.S. wants.  I'm a democrat who works her butt off and feel that people on welfare for generations is just absolutely robbery.  I care about peoples rights in the U.S. because that is why the U.S. was started so they could practice freedom of religion without fear of persecution.  I want a government that makes decisions based on the good of everyone not just the good for their pockets.  The reason we label ourselves with a party is because we feel that one party or the other will attain those items more successfully than the other.  I think most people are right down the middle the problem with our government is there is no down the middle views everythings is either too far right or too far left leaving no compromising and finding solutions thta 1/2 of the country will not be happy with.  So you are on the U.S. Team that wants a more successful, honest, rational government.  As do I.  If i'm wrong then i'm sorry i couldn't answer your question.

Get involved. I've written my congressmen and 2 senators every time they voted on legislation involved with the war to either show my approval or disdain. Make sure they hear your voice. Some may write you back, Some may not. Register to vote or, if you can't, get involved with candidates (no age limit to do this) and maybe even join a Young Republicans or Young Democrats group. Volunteer for a candidate. Just get involved. As much as possible.

They vote with their conscience, Democrats and republicans are why we are in trouble here in america.  Vote Green.  Protect our environment today, so we have somewhere to hunt tomorrow, spare innocent lives by bringing our troops back,  invest in energy saving solutions,  and bring our president to justice for war crimes and crimes against humanity along with Saddam Hussein.

Look up the party platforms for each party.  Consider that these are generally accepted.  These are not 100%.  You can and will vary from these.  Traditionally you associate with the one that is closest to the values you hold.  The other group associate with the one which has a history with them.  An example is a person who is Democrat because that is what his parent's were.  He may have no idea what the party stands for.  Another is members of the Black race tended to be Republicans after the Civil War because that was the party which helped make slavery illegal.  Today, that same race tends to associate with Democrats for much the same reason...civil rights issues.  Who knows what will happen in 50 years?\nIn short, check the party platforms.  Not all members of the African American race are Democrats, but that is the trend.  Just goes to show a variance.  You can vary too.  I would have used another race as an example, but my knowledge of other races in American politics is too limited.

Sounds like JFK had it right. Today's Democrats consistently ask, "What can my country do for me?" If we had more selfless service in the United States today instead of just "gimme gimme gimme", we would truly be living in a better country.

Don't watch what you say.  Say anything you want, exercise your freedom of expression and speech.  That's what being an American is all about.  If you don't like the country, though, move to a country that you do like.  Don't criticize America if you don't vote, don't work and don't contribute to the community.  If you don't like it here, you're more than welcome to leave.

Don't let people ignorance and prejudice upset you. Blind nationism isn't a good thing, but there alot of folks right here that need to decide which side of the fence they are on. These are the same kind of scum that spat on my father when he returned from Vietnam. \nJust like all other cowards they talk alot, but when it's time to put up or shut up they slink back into the shadows.\nWe fight to protect their rights, but they don't expect to have to respect ours.\nHold your head high, fly your flag and ignore them. They will try and try to get under your skin. Do not let them.

I think BOTH parties should move to the center. This would put them in line with the beliefs of most Americans.

I am democrat. I believe in freedom! Plain and simple. America is about: Freedom! Choice! Rights!\n\nAll of these have been dwindled under republican rule. Yes, im a Christian, but I dont think that church and state should intermingle...separation of church and state is what this country was founded on, and i needs to stay like that to be solid.\n\nRepublicans think they can push THEIR morals onto other people...totally bypassing what america stands for...Independance!

Continue to educate yourself on facts, Don't listen to all the GOP spin & whining, (on here too!), support your local elected officials, keep in mind that the truth always prevails, & don't stoop to their level. That'll do.

Several ways...\n\n1. We educate ourselves so that we can be informed when confronted in an argument against ppl who are only listening to soundbytes.\n\n2. We have the courage to speak out even when we are outnumbered. This happens to me a lot. I am in a white prominent Republican area of the South. It is common to over hear or even be told directly some biased misconstrued information that is far right. I politely and articulately correct them and you know what, 9 times out of 10, if you calmly correct ppl with facts, they will say, 'Oh I didn't know that."
