In his farewell address, George Washington warned us against political parties. He said they would form “factions of men” who’d be more concerned with their faction than for their country. Who knew Washington was psychic?

Well, egos have been around for a very long time, Marianne! People whose egos don’t run them can spot that a mile away & it doesn’t take a psychic. Hm, having said that, putting the ego aside does allow the 3rd eye a little more vision, eh? Did I jus answer my own question? 👀 😂
He was a freemason, 'a faction of men'. Birds of a feather?

He’s right. You shouldn’t endorse politicians that polarizes the electorate to wings of each side of the political spectrum and hollows out the middle moderate voters.

Washington warned the people that political factions may seek to obstruct the execution of the laws created by the government or to prevent the branches of government from enacting the powers provided them by the constitution. Washington described the modern Republican party.

George Washington was an absolute magus.

This is exactly what Bernie Sanders has done! Wow - well explained, Marianne! It's great that you can see the underbelly of 'a man all about creating an ever larger faction' while you're still supporting him!

Rabid supporters on all sides are definitely not psychic
