  • Liberals and Conservatives Unite

    I've known many people who've had strong political stances both to the left and the right. These people may disagree on just about every major political issue, but there is one place where they both agree.

    That one place is that their politics would improve the society of the nation.

    You've got Bible-thumpers who want to implement fundamentalist rule. Then there are Islamicists who want to implement their type of fundamentalism. You've got hippies who want to ban cars. You've got those who want to ban guns, and those who want everyone to own an AK47. There are labor unions and there are business associations. All these groups and causes though seek to better the community and perhaps the nation or world as a whole. Whether or not they actually do is questionable, but that is their goal.

    Then you have those who don't give a &@#$. They don't care about what goes on as long as they're doing OK. If these Apathetics were a political party in the USA, they would outnumber both Democrats and Republicans. After all, less than half of the eligible voter population votes

    Activists on both sides ought to realize that these Apathetics are actually the biggest threat to society and not the opposing ideology, as those who don't care about the politics of a society generally don't care about the society as a whole. On the other hand, a "pincer attack" from the Left and the Right could easily stamp out this apathetic, "me first" attitude.

      I think most of the political apathy comes from disappointments with the way the electoral system operates -- or the fact we have an electoral system.
      A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

        The electoral system is similar in many places yet enthusiasm differs. The real problem is that people are lazy and self-centered.

                As I see politics there are two sides. Those who give a #%# about the rest of their community/nation/world and those who don't.

                There are plenty of people who pretend to be in the first category but are really in the second. Such as self-proclaimed commies who patronize corporate restaurants.

                The ideological difference between such people is bigger than that between commies and fundies. You hear of people, even major politicians, who change from one side to the other over their life. They have found the old ideas not in line with what they feel would improve the world, and found a new one. Lazy bums on the other hand, tend to remain so.

                  Among the worst offenders. Those who support conservatism because it serves their wallet.

                  The flipside are those who support liberalism so they party down.

                        1 vote makes no difference.

                        Only irrational people would assume it does.

                          Couldn't be more correct!!! Its unfair to say that apathetics always default to conservatism, so I'll keep quiet on this .

                          Nonetheless... If only people would think more! :evilliberalgrin: Having said that, I would rather people be apathetic than fly planes into buildings.

                          There is, imo, a limit to where peoples political, social and philosophical views should take them. By all means, influence, protest, write, debate etc, even the most extreme views, but killing people or actively impeding them? Thats too much, no matter what the view.

                            I don't believe my politics would improve society. Just for me.
