Modern politics in a nutshell: "I'm better than you!" "No, I'm better than you!" And everyone else suffers.

They've both become horrible Big Government parties that harm us all.

[quote]Politics should be about discussing ideas of policy that make society better off as opposed of what side is better.[/quote] When you have two different opinions of how to run then country and both are mutually exclusive, you have to determine which is better in order to proceed.

False equivalency really irks me. The issue is that one party in this country has moved to the far, far right, whereas the other party has moved to the center. It's not two kids fighting as much as it is one spoiled brat and one apathetic loner.

The reason this will never happen is because Liberals see Conservatives as bigoted "me first" policy-makers, while Conservatives see Liberals as people trying to destroy the foundation of their own personal moral code that they grew up with. as opposed to what it actually is, which is two parties trying to make sure the other one cannot accomplish anything while in power.

Yes, it is stupid. You should be focusing on me vs everyone else.

Edited by Crash: 2/1/2013 2:11:50 AMThat's pretty much why I'm completely uninterested in politics in general. A lot of times it just looks like two kids who won't stop yelling at each other about how only they're right. I hate the whole idea of completely identifying yourself with one party only, seems people become too busy "proving" how the whatever opposing party is a bunch idiots. Just seems to promote a whole lot of close minded thinking to me, though of course there's exceptions.

Oh look another political thread

politics in general is folly.

Is this referring to Dredd, the conservative secessionist, or politics in general?

I agree. I think we should abolish the two party system. It makes people go to both extremes rather than trying to find common grounds.

People love their drama.

I agree completely. You can support causes that people label as "liberal" for conservative reasons, and vice versa.
