People do understand you can have conservative or liberal (or hey maybe even a mix of both!) personal beliefs and ideologies without having to align yourself with a political party that doesn't care if you progress, remain stagnate, or retogress, right? All either of these parties do is sell pipe dreams of a better life by blaming and telling us to hate the other side for everything that is wrong with this country. We are their political pawns that lap it right up and can't get enough of it. Humans love having someone to blame, hate, and think lesser of and we have festered in it politically. If it stays like this it will never get beyond it's us vs them, and as the people of this nation - not it's politicians, we all lose.
