To be fair, both Democrats and Republicans can be conservative, small c. There are also other reasons to want to retain the status quo. Not all Democrats are progressive; not all Republicans are retarded :)

id imagine a lot of ppl make their political choices based on what each party does as opposed to what their party represents (to conserve/to liberate). I can also imagine a lot of party representatives don't act on what their party represents. That's why the political system needs to change because it is out dated only predominantly still conventional. It's this resistance to change that causes the tension, we are literally working against ourselves, no?!

@SW-User this is what the left understands that the right fails to accept

@JovialPlutonian The left can be as bad. See Tony Blair and his supporters. What a disappointment

@JovialPlutonian Supporters need to change. Look at Trump supporters!! The political system itself is sound imho. The economy and economic beliefs need challenging; here is the status quo

It's like ppl can believe they're left/right but if they educated themselves they would know that they are otherwise.
