Oh, you were talking about political parties. I was talking about liberals and conservatives.Or it could just mean they enjoy the same confirmation bias as everyone else.
What makes you think conservatives and liberals don't decide issues by what they believe and stick to it despite what the other side says?
Because that's the whole point with STICKING TO THE PARTY LINE!!!
A moderate / independent / centrist realizes that on some issues the Republicans get it right...and on some issues they don't. They get that Democrats might really understand and legislate one area well...and others not so much.
Every day/hour/minute I come on here I see mindless posts about "Repugs dont like the facts!!" or "Libtards just dont want the truth!"...bullshit. Both sides NEVER get it right 100% of the time.
So why the brainless allegiance to one side or the other? Because it gives you somewhere to belong..and it gives you an evil devil to scrutinize.
You can say "oh but I dont believe everything (insert your side) says!! I just lean with them on the majority of the issues." Good for you.You're on the right path as long as you dont make any statements about how the other side always gets it wrong.
Same difference. Libs / Conservs - Repubs and Democrats.
No side of any coin gets policy or philosophy right 100% of the time. Still the retards of the world point at the other and say THE OTHER SIDE is always wrong.
As for the neg rep..what of it? Talking about it does amount to whining. If you're not trying to attribute a name with an action (me with neg repping) why else bring it up? Smiley faces or no,
I frequent much tougher forum boards that this. Try rpg codex > doesn't scale to your level on for size. You're more than likely to hit on a post talking about gang raping 3 year old boys afflicted with down syndrome with multi-headed dicks spewing from your mother's anus. I've seen and can respond with worse. But here, neg rep serves the function well enough.
