That quote doesn't seem right, either. The population is something like 50/50 liberal/conservative, right? So compared to the average person, it seems that this indicates both that conservatives are more fearful than average and that liberals are closer to a particular form of psychopathy. Choosing either one of these and ignoring the other shows a pretty clear bias.
- satellitecat 13y agoI don't think there's a 50/50 split. It's just that with a 2-party system like in the US, it's natural that they will roughly split the vote.

- satellitecat 13y agoAgreed, yep. They'll vote for their niche issue even though the rest of the platform may hurt them or their ideals more in the big picture.
- thesimpsons1022 13y agoand that's why the parties seem so hypocritical. they just serve a lot of niche issues. like big business and Christians.
