Excellent job not understanding what the opposite side believes and why.



I know what legislation they pass. "Believing" sounds nice and fun, but legislating directly impacts the actual lives of people.


This assumes that everyday conservatives believe in the republican representatives that end up in power.

I didn't even vote in the last election as I felt un-represented. For me there was no 'greater evil' candidate. Prior I voted libertarian, but what good does that do?

Does having voted a certain way for a candidate make your beliefs ultimately responsible for the way the representative governs? In America we essentially get `choose red or blue`.

How can the subjects as complicated as everyday topics are ever be reduced to two colors!?

The problem _is_ our tyrannical democratic system.
