I hate the party system. I hate how everyone has to classify themselves as one side or the other, and if you classify yourself as anything else like libertarian then you're just going against the grain and fighting an un-winnable fight. Both sides are right on some issues and wrong on others. The party system is there to prevent political domination by having natural shifts in ideologies occur, but it still makes it that important issues are never settled because everyone's too busy defending their party rather than focusing on the actual issue. I can't even count how many people I know that have a burning passion to oppose Obamacare or something like that, yet they don't even know anything about the damn bill.
Here's a fun video for the hell of it:
Sorry for the rant, Lord Lareship, because you seem to have actually done some deep thinking on the topic so you're not just some average Joe that decided to be liberal because they like blue more than red. It's just whenever this topic comes to my mind for whatever reason I get frustrated.
