Sunshine Jesse Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 there's less associated insanity with liberalism than conservatism, so i'm more inclined to sympathize with liberals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabHelmet Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Using "liberal" and "conservative" in the American sense, as I suspect this topic intends: there's less associated [i]being completely wrong[/i] with liberalism than conservatism, so I'm more inclined to sympathize with liberals. Turns out labeling me inferior and/or a monster some four times over (female, daughter of an immigrant, bisexual, atheist) doesn't win you my support. Who'd have thought. (Which is not to say that their economic policy of "screw the poor" isn't any less heinous.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Nope, I said it. See, it's not stereotyping if that's their official party platform. "Living in or being descended from people who lived in Mexico" is not a stereotype of Mexicans; "Being attracted to people of both sexes" is not a stereotype of bisexuals; and "Wanting to lock down immigration, oppose gay marriage, and uphold the glory of Christianity" is not a stereotype of American conservatism.
