Most apparent is the black/white political polarization with just about any political standing. Personally, I find both parties, and their same bucket of financial contributors deplorable. I've been of the notion of "show me first" before awarding any trophies just based on what all of them 'said they were going to do' and have been sorely disappointed by each and every one.
I am a semi-modern person who has had more fun than he should, and do not see how anyone can be either wholly conservative or liberal this far into the '2000s. The 'one way or the other' ideologies are instead, more of the design of the worst of both parties. This leaves me a more centrist view with something either being right, or wrong, good people or bad. This tends to leave pickings pretty sparse to non-existent come voting time.
One thing I notice about flag waving liberals being, very few stand on their predominately and overly predictable, media inflicted beliefs alone. They're always found on forums with an overwhelming presence of like minded folks, with very little adversity, and always following a sort of peanut gallery collective. I can almost lip sync just about everything they will say to any hot topic, the overplayed buzzwords, and anything else said, ad-nauseam.
While I don't adhere to neo-conservatism, the haunts I frequent has them easier to avoid somehow. Nobody approaches me with their politics for some reason. I have to go on internet forums to be confronted, or worse, labeled as one or the other. Just this reply alone will likely get me labeled as a "repugnican," like that time I dared to ask questions about climate change when it was all new and shiny.
