    I think this is actually a really interesting article. Breaking down the overly simplistic 2 party system we have would be a great thing. There is more that can be broken down that even this survey indicates, but it’s still interesting and helpful.

      We tend to forget that other people’s ideologies can’t be boiled down to left or right, so we get the “conservative = bad” or “liberal = bad” mentality. Which is unproductive and only increases the radicalism that most people of most ideologies hate.

        yeah - and i fault the media for that. the actual truth in political ideology is complicated and cant be summed up in a blanket statement that one or the other is blessed/evil but it would take hours to explain that and no one has time or desire to listen to that when soundbites rule the world.

        mass media itself needs significant checks and balances levied against it - it’s too “free” for lack of a better word.
