Why admit they are wrong when the can just create a new word to prove there knowledge on the subject ,and make it look like they care about the question win win. It’s a perversion of language, and our votes keep it alive. The one and only truth we all share as human beings is the flawless understanding of right , and wrong. It’s coded into our DNA. There is no grey area, either it’s right or it’s wrong. Now let’s take a step back and look at our political leaders, our judges, our law makers, our educational system. Where does it lead? How are we all doing today? Has anything gotten better? Or are things progressively getting worse, with every vote, every promise, every twist , and turn. Our political views really don’t mean anything the truth is we are all the same, ultimately we all want the same thing, we all have the same values. The problem is that some of us are good and some of us are evil. It’s the evil ones who take action because they don’t care who they hurt. The good ones just hope for things to get better (faith) At least it’s that simple for me.

"Why can’t politicians simply state their case, and respect the right of others to do the same? Why can’t they acknowledge that they know only just so much about only some of the questions?"

Because that hasn't been getting enough votes. There HAVE BEEN enough voters wanting politicians who will pass and enforce laws that shape society the way they want it shaped. Only voters who want a society where everyone can state their case and respect the rights of others will vote for candidates like that.

How much of that desire to shape society to your will is innate to the voter, and how much of that desire comes from outside manipulation in order to gain control is my question.
