Where exactly do you draw the line between liberals and conservatives?

Personally, I find it hard to do so on most social issues because the positions have changed so fast. I mean 10 years ago, it would've been gay marriage but since then a lot of conservatives have (at least outwardly) been accepting gay marriage. Personally, I use the zoning laws since that's one of the biggest departures from capitalism that republicans support in contravention to almost all of their other stated values.

I really don't, honestly.

One group is generally more useful to working class individuals than the other but both either can't see the forest for the trees or can't see the trees for the forest.

Im sure a line could be drawn if one was inclined to sit down and think it out but I am not such a person.

@SW-User They're the two major political factions in your home country, seems kinda important to draw a distinction.

@BlueVeins

seems kinda important to draw a distinction.

Yes it does seem that way, but that itself is a critical issue.

People get so wrapped up in the distinction (that is less prominent in reality than one might think) that they allow themselves to be simplified into easily manipulated units rather than putting their brains in parallel and becoming an enlightened society of synched individuals that it would be hard for private interest groups to hoodwink.

But I digress...
