the Two have been switched around. During Clinton’s campaign the color schemed was switched just to screw with people. When Jefferson died his party was put into the category of right vs left. Instead of being united we have to divide ourselves every 4-8 years instead of working together. People need to be united.
I'm neither. My political views and stands are balanced with common sense for the well being of all.

I'm a conservative and I took that test and they claimed I was a Libertarian liberal. (The Libertarian part may have been true to an extent, but I'm no liberal).
You may not be, but you're in their company. There's a perception problem and a reason why their ranks are getting depleted en masse. Combine that with Prezident Pussy-Grabber's insane hold over all those sycophantic ball-less fools, and the party of Lincoln is careening off a cliff. It's like radioactive poison.
Yeah I mean trump, accoridng to the same media that claims he's losing steam, said he had a 2% chance to win the election, some even claimed he chances were "virtually zero." This was repeated thousands if not millions of times. The left is biased and they try to speak things into existence, and it's absolutely futile.
And just as an example, someone we both know momentarily ago said "Republicans are old people" yet here i am, a young man. You can say things all you want, but that won't make them true.
Come on I mean in general. They're predominantly WHITE statistically ANCIENT, but I'm sure there's a couple young people like yourself...(hopefully in order to turn it around) Cause like I said, they're dwindling in numbers and becoming leaving a bad taste in people's mouth
HAHAha! "losing steam" ... WTF? I don't think that because of anyone in the media repeating any one point -- are you kidding>? Talk about an over-simplification. Anyone with half a brain who's been watching his presidency these last few year should be able to see for themselves the cartoonish, unbelievable, embarrassing, reckless, ineptitude (I could go on all day) of of the Orange Menace -- the petty, lowlife gifter, ... so pathetic and shallow, the disaster in chief is not exactly 'subtle' now is he? -- He broadcasts his ignorance and how unsuitable he is daily. He's never got above 50%, more than half the country despises him, ... the ones who gave him a chance, a lot of them are horrified and turned off by what his presidency has been, and his base has remained unchanged, maybe decreased a little (by a sliver cause they're hard-core stupid) ut still. He'll be historically known as a 'blip' -- a one off --- the time a full on psycho sociopath weezled his way into the white house. Do you really think the country has an appetite for MORE? -- FOUR M-O-R-E years of tweets and stupidity and international shame, and that illiterate dipshit? Not fucking way in hell... no way, no how, not again, trust me. HE HAS GOT TO GO. mark my words
Yeah, and "statistically" Trump allegedly had a 2% chance of winning. Unfortunately, these polls, studies, you name it, are often biased nowadays. And I do agree with you on the younger people differing from some of the stereotypes that the older Republican generations had. Like I really dislike how abrasive nearly all established conservative new outlets are. Granted, many left-wing outlets are particularly rude and demeaning, hatred breeds hatred and I don't support hardly any conservative news organizations solely based on how confrontational and dismissive they are. People need discussion, not condescension. And just as an example of how I may differ with stereotypical Republican beliefs, I fully support things like homosexuality/gay marriage. Though many conservatives my age that I'm familiar with don't oppose homosexuality.
according to political science, the difference between parties in what essentially is a 2 party system are almost negligibly low.

So someone who, for example, opposes capitalism and someone who opposes socialism have very little difference? Or someone who supports authoritarianism and someone who supports libertarianism also have little difference?
no. those examples you mentioned are individual datapoint in the spectrums and if you compare 2 people with each other, it would depend on the individual case on "how far" they are appart. the differences can be really big. those would be the extreme ends of left/right, authoritarian/libertarian. if you graph all members of a society along those spectrums, you'd get a classical bell-courve, meaning the "majority" is closest to the center. so therefore in a 2 party system, the parties can't move away too far from the center without losing a lot of votes. cause in a 2 party system, even the "right wing party" would try to get some of the left wing votes and vice versa. their net gain in votes is maximized by doing that.
that means that the further away from the center towards the extreme left or right you are as an individual, the less your preferences and interests will be represented in either of the parties and the more center you are, the more likely that both parties represent your interest somewhat equally well.
that's where the meme of the "giant douche" and the "turd sandwich" comes from. cause no matter what you vote, the outcomes will be fairly similar. the southpark creators are not dumb :)
I am neither I vote for who ever I believe to be the best choice. That is sometimes difficult because Republican s will not let you vote for a Republican unless you have a Republican ticket. Fore that I say screw the Republicans.
Basically if you pay taxes for the most part you are a Republican. If your a lazy welfare sponge or a trust fund baby who never had a job, you are a Democrat

I tend to look at facts firsts before emotion. In general (but not always) one political side is more prone at doing this.
@supercutebutt so is the crowd that magically believes that COVID-19 is “woke” and won’t infect huge crowds of screaming protestors just as long they are protesting the right thing.
Is all controlled by the same people, you can "vote" what you want it doesn't matter the "president" aka next puppet is already selected by the true owner of this country.
keep believing in your illusion you have freedom, keep believing you have a choice.
people in general, want the same things.. the problem is, the two parties, differ, in how to go about getting them

Is he bankrupt, though? Or was he exploiting a system's loopholes for financial gain? I mean google says his net worth is currently 2.1 billions dollars. Is that what bankruptcy looks like?
Trump has always lied about his value. He told Deutsche Bank he was worth $3 billion, they reviewed his finances and estimated his worth at $788 million. He's not even a real billionaire. He's a joke. and you're a sucker for believing his bullshit.
trump cultists thought trump was a business genius who would run the country like a business and they got what they asked for. he's run it just like any one of his failed businesses.
Trump’s failed businesses:
1. Trump Steaks 2. GoTrump 3. Trump Airlines 4. Trump Vodka 5. Trump Mortgage 6. Trump: The Game 7. Trump Magazine 8. Trump University 9. Trump Ice 10. The New Jersey Generals 11. Tour de Trump 12. Trump Network 13. Trumped!
Trump companies that sought bankruptcy protection:
1. Trump Taj Mahal 2. Trump’s Castle 3. Trump Plaza Casinos 4. Trump Plaza Hotel 5. Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts 6. Trump Entertainment Resorts
Gotcha, so google is incorrect. Trump actually lives in a 1 bedroom apartment somewhere in New York city because he's secretly poor. Can you give a few examples as to how he has ran the country like one of his failed businesses?
My source was Google, it's those little snippets you get at the top of your Google searxh, and Google is biased against conservatives. And why would the Dutch bank give him such massive loans of he's so clearly terrible with money? And he's lived his life like this his whole life. He's 73 years old. You don't think financial incompetence would have caught up with him by now? And cool, he lied, I'm not disputing that. You act like I blindly follow him. What I am, and have been, disputing is your claim that he's financially incompetent.

I read up on every view point side by side. Thought I was a Democrat but I am a Republican. I only have 4 topics that both sides need to figure out
I'm neither. My political views and stands are balanced with common sense for the well being of all.

Old ancient decrepit racists are Rupubli-tards...
Everyone else is in the other tent
So I, a 25 year old, is old, ancient, decrepit, and racist?

Republican is conformity to religion while Democrat is conformity to a dictatorship.
I'm Republican and atheist, though?

because you know winning the vote in a 2 party system is a zero sum game. the winner takes it all.
I am neither I vote for who ever I believe to be the best choice. That is sometimes difficult because Republican s will not let you vote for a Republican unless you have a Republican ticket. Fore that I say screw the Republicans.
I don't see much difference between these two: both full of America; both full of contempt. The 'hardcore' ones, I mean.
They are indoctrinated… Nope, I don’t belong to either of those political parties.
I’m republican. The democrats motto is “defending yourself is bad now give me free stuff”
You didn't mention what a Republican was
More often then not, my interests lie within the Democratic Party, but I'm registered Non Party Participant.
Apparantly its completely arbitrary.
Christians think libertine capitalism is their friend because 'enemy of my enemy'
Basically if you pay taxes for the most part you are a Republican. If your a lazy welfare sponge or a trust fund baby who never had a job, you are a Democrat
I tend to look at facts firsts before emotion. In general (but not always) one political side is more prone at doing this.
I agree. The magic baby crowd is VERY emotional.
@supercutebutt so is the crowd that magically believes that COVID-19 is “woke” and won’t infect huge crowds of screaming protestors just as long they are protesting the right thing.
Lmao
" I, Me, Mine ", at anyone's expense, is the Republican creed for the most part.
The Dems don't have one - they're too confused. LOL
I am an Independent, but mostly vote Republican. Most people vote like their parents. My dad was a Democrat and my mom is a Republican.
Oh yeah the Two Party Ilusion.. Two Wings, of the same Bird.
What's illusory about it?
Is all controlled by the same people, you can "vote" what you want it doesn't matter the "president" aka next puppet is already selected by the true owner of this country.
keep believing in your illusion you have freedom, keep believing you have a choice.
Who is the true owner of this country?
The Zionist, Like Lord Rothschild once said " I Control the Money money supplies and I dont care where make the rules"
USA is founded by Freemasons, The reason the USA has 13 stripes on the flag the reason you see the famous blue+red masonic colors.
But dont worry, the Zionist own us all, the own the entire planet. that being said, All the World is a Stage.
Who is the Zionist?
The guys behind the Stage running the Show what you call Earth.
people in general, want the same things.. the problem is, the two parties, differ, in how to go about getting them

He got loans through Deutsche Bank who analyzed is finances. Did your source on google lend him money and review his finances? unlikely.
Keep in mind your fucking clown cult leader said he was worth $10 billion on the campaign trail in 2016. Another lie.
My source was Google, it's those little snippets you get at the top of your Google searxh, and Google is biased against conservatives. And why would the Dutch bank give him such massive loans of he's so clearly terrible with money? And he's lived his life like this his whole life. He's 73 years old.

Patriotism, and Religion caused wars since foundation of these stupid ideas!
