divide and conquer DEFINITION
the policy of maintaining control over one's subordinates or subjects by encouraging dissent between them.
Goerge Washington opposed political parties. And not since before Lincoln has there been a president that wasn't dem or rep. Funny that since the time of the civil war, politics has been divided into 2. The 2 party system is meant to divide the American people. It's not just rich and poor, or black and white anymore. Now its reds and blues like bloods and crips. Pick a side or don't even bother. What about those of us stuck in the middle? These 2 gangs have held the American people hostage for long enough. But we have no one to blame but ourselves. These career politicians are not in touch with real people. We need new fresh ideas from people who have actually been affected by they're indecisions to institute real change. I saw a story recently about a young newly elected freshman congressperson. After being furloughed during the last shutdown, she decided to do something about it. One thing I noticed was that she said she only had 2 years to make people's lives better. What if it was like that for all of them? Why don't they have term limits?
