- thomastjeffery 9y agoAs an American libertarian, I have been wondering for a long time. The very words "liberal" and "conservative" seem to be entirely devoid of meaning, and yet they are pervasively used as the main descriptive terms for political ideology here. Each of the two major parties considers itself to be one of the other, and seems to base its entire ideology on it. From my perspective, it's utterly nonsensical.
- thomastjeffery 9y agoSeems like a worthless correlation to me. Politics in the US just don't make sense anymore. Those who consider themselves "conservative" push for more military power and control, while those who consider themselves "liberal" fight for individual liberties. I just don't get it.
