Swing States of Mind

Challenging the way we do politics with less noise, more thought, no blind party loyalty, and space to actually figure things out.
If challenging blind party loyalty and you see how both parties have reached political extremes is your lane then leave a comment below and follow. I'm interested in connecting with and following like-minded people.
It doesn't seem realistic to get rid of property taxes altogether but maybe we do ease it by giving a 5 year pass on first time home owners and waive it for the primary residence (not investment properties) for retirees up to $500k value. This avoids defunding states, helps…
Shared by medical source in Gaza. No child should live and die like this.
This was Zeinab just 5 days ago. She was 5 months old.
Actual numbers are closer to: Democrats: 35 million Republicans: 10 million Make of it what you will.
Here are some stats Fox News doesn't want you to know. 52 million jobs have been created since the Cold War. Democratic administrations created 50 million. Republican administrations created 1.9 million. Republican Presidents have 1 thing in common: recession.
Here are a few ideas that I don't consider extreme and I'm putting them out there because I always mention how we're stuck between extremes so I'm presenting some ideas. Instead of free college, how about 0% interest loans and we lower and cap local and state college/university…
If politicians are anything, they are the ugly mirror that reflects who we are as a people because we elect them from amongst us. They're not self-appointed. They didn't come out of nowhere. We gave them permission to behave this way. We are the only ones who can revoke that…
In a non-hyperpartisan world where people attack each other for just trying to talk about abortion, 21 weeks would be a good place to have a conversation about whether or not that's where abortions go from a woman's right over her body to a baby's rights.
Iowa boy born at just 21 weeks becomes Guinness World Records ‘most premature baby’ ever trib.al/fw6bonD
I don't buy the whole white genocide or replacement theory nonsense, but it is true that there has been, at the very least, an intellectual assault against white people for at least two decades. I say two decades because I remember when I was in college having an entire class…
Why Trump has his personal lawyer meeting privately with Maxwell is beyond me. There are guesses but I'm not biting at what seems like an obvious conclusion since "obvious" is not the same as "evidence". It is very suspect though.
Windmills are really bad for the environment and have a lifespan of 20 years. They use an insane amount of resources to produce and put up. If there's a future for windmills, it's not with today's technology and approach.
No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, we still have to live together. The sooner we accept that we can’t keep forcing laws on each other, the sooner we can start building common-ground policies. There’s no “Make America Great Again” without making room for a wide…
Trump really is playing with fire here. The administration knows this doesn't end in treason but they're using it to get their base angry and hopeful at the same time. It's unbelievably dangerous. Wake up MAGA - you're going to get rug-pulled...again.
We need a president who's an independent with a bipartisan cabinet for one term to help reset the political system. Get rid of citizens united and provide the same amount of financing to all candidates that reach a threshold. This partisan, revenge politics has to end.
Dear MAGA: I've made no secret that I'm not a Trump supporter but there's a lot of good in the America First movement. It's really sad to see its future being tanked because MAGA can't seem to separate Trump from it and just keep taking his bait about all this Russiagate stuff.…
Trump is running out of hoaxes to distract with and he's panicking. That's what we're witnessing.
The public will never accept whatever Ghislaine Maxwell says because no one is going to believe it's either the full truth or anything other than a twisted, self-serving version of the truth. It's a sad reality that we'll never actually know. I think as a society we should keep…
This ICE insanity has to end. States need to get more involved now in doing two things: 1) Stop ICE using every legal avenue possible 2) Take over deporting illegal immigrants so it can be done humanely If left to Trump, we get these medieval thugs doing things like this and…
Are there any #Muslims in the the #UK who can explain why this was done? I'm not asking why you're praying or even why pray on the street. I can understand that. Why pray in congregation right outside a Church? (Ignoring any comments that just rage or hate.)
In an attempt to intimidate Catholics, Muslims held a “prayer service” in front of the Cathedral in Montreal. This was the Cathedral’s response…
He doesn't have to @krassenstein - that's not the goal. It's distraction. It's to enrage. It's to fix the fracture that was happening....and it's working.
Barack Obama is not going to jail. You are all idiots.
"If Trump was in the the Epstein files then there's no way the Democrats wouldn't have used it in any of the 3 elections" Those types of claims don't tell me it's a hoax. It tells me the net of people implicated and mutually assured destruction is wider than we can imagine
