While his diagnosis of the problem is in the correct ballpark, his solution is pure Bernie socialism. it would make things worse instead of better.

Liberal leaning folks are good at noting the issues with existing political systems. Ignoring the extremist SJWs, who see problems that don't exist, your average person with liberal sensibilities would like to see the world be a better place.

Conservatives tend to be self-serving types who ignore all existing problems that don't affect them personally.

Neither group is particularly adept at presenting solutions that would actually better our world, although there is a segment (of liberals) who are getting their hands dirty trying.

Look up the type of people who are working on projects such as aquaponic growing systems and you'll find individuals who are genuinely putting their money (and time) where their mouth is.

You'll find a few conservatives in that group, but it is mostly dominated by liberals.

All false, completely ignorant nonsense.

Conservatives are self-serving? When in fact...

- Conservatives donate far more to charity (because they believe in God)

This may be true, but it doesn't prove anything, as people don't always donate to charity for selfless reasons.

They often do it to prove that they are "good people" and justify other areas of selfishness.

They often donate for self-serving political reasons. It was be infantile to believe that all so-called non-profits are non-political.

- Make up 80% of the military frontline and casualty list (because they believe in God)

They don't necessarily do this because they believe in God. They do it for a sense of identity.

If more people were liberal, the government wouldn't be able to fight so many pointless wars, as it is always the conservatives who are on the frontlines of "trusting the government."

We saw that in the Iraqi War, where despite there being very reasonable questions about the justification to go to war, conservatives were quick to argue that we needed to "trust George W. Bush" because he was a Christian, patriotism, etc.

Look where that got us.

Conservatives aren't eager to go to war because they believe in God. If they really understood the Christian message and actually understood politics (and how soldiers are essentially useful idiots for more powerful entities), it would be the opposite.

They are eager to join the military and go to war for self-serving purposes.

- Do far more to promote families (which is the bedrock of civilization, because they believe in God)

Simply not the case. Atheists (generally liberals) have a lower divorce rate than so-called Christians.

Meanwhile for every Liberal helping the poor or working on some invention, there are 1000 liberals sucking up taxpayer money and blowing it on drugs and booze. Most liberals are selfish hedonists, conservatives aren't even close by comparison.

Show me your source, so that I know that you didn't make up this statistic.
