Conservative vs Liberal

Does it really matter? As a Southern Conservative white male, I'm persecuted on a daily basis. Yet, one to one, no one on either side seems to want to converse in a civil manner about their ideals and beliefs. So what if we disagree? Where is it written that we have to hate one another for it?

If I voted to legalize forced vasectomies, which lead to passing of that law, would you still consider it just a difference of opinion?

@WhateverWorks Rationalize your point?

My point is that when it comes to religion and politics there’s no such thing as ‘just a difference of opinion’ because opinions are how people take action and vote. Legislation impacts peoples’ lives. @ProfessorFeet

So in other words, you're saying a vote is only yes or no? The people have no power to help in finding a compromise?

Sure, that be true for the very small percentile that have anything to do with the creation of laws. The average person possibly could, but they don’t.

The average person has near no involvement with their local legislation, and definitely no involvement in the writing/passing of bills in the grander scheme of things. The average person has rallies and other forms of activism to push their opinions (how they want others to vote).
Their vote is either in support of something/someone or against. @ProfessorFeet
