I always see people classified as either Conservative or Liberal...

Are people really so inflexible that you get placed inside a "box" with a fixed "label"?

What I mean is, are you saying that there is no one who may be so called "Liberal" but agree with certain conservative ideas and is there no one "Conservative" who agrees with certain liberal ideas?

And if there are such people, are you really ok with simply being placed inside a particularly labelled box?

That's why there are so many registered independents. In the end you still have a label

@Lizabee Perhaps yes, but the moment one party finds a hint of anything which is associated with the other, they are quick to call them either Conservative or Liberal, even though the one being labelled may not be strictly associated or share the same ideas/beliefs as the label being placed on that person.

Is this then not wrongful labeling?

For example, you are female and traditionally/culturally or by society or whatever you want to call it, "expects" you to do things a certain way or agree to what the majority of females believe in, but then you have a hint of believing or doing something the way a male would believe/do... would it not be wrongful to simply be labelled "Male" because you agree with one particular "male belief"?

@iMystery for that they call us "bitch"

iMystery · M

@Lizabee And how do you feel about that bitch label?

@iMystery the adhesive sucks 💅🏻

@Lizabee EXACTLY! Then why are so many so quick to label someone either Lib or Conserv even if that person may in fact be neither?

@iMystery because it's easy and lazy
