Why are those at both the extreme right AND the extreme left ??

Question

always fighting?
It's as though they are forever blowing out what what THEY perceive to be important air, as though seemingly having all of the available knowledge about every issue in politics?

what is wrong with each party?

Answer 1

Because of the government controlled media. They like us to fight so they can enslave us without us knowing. People just can't seem to wake up from this crap.

Answer 2

Most people are moderates that lean right or left. They agree on most things and differ on some big issues. The drivel you repeatedly hear on Y!A by blowhards from both sides is merely the nonsensical ravings of empty headed people who believe everyone MUST see things the way they do. They seem to believe repetition and volume guarantee truth and imply belief in their bloviating. Personally, I'm conservative and some of the things I see here from people who claim to be conservatives are embarassing. I have no doubt some people who post with liberal or conservative sounding names and post inflammatory things are trying to make the sides look bad. I think politics should be characterized as a hate crime.

Answer 3

Extremists of both sides are making a hash of our political system. The internet itself is becoming a battleground now and it has done much damage to this website as a forum for debate and information. I no longer respond to hate rants or baseless attacks (except to report the egregious ones) and am happier for it. It is a waste of time to argue or dispute with people whose mind was made up before they put their question/rant on the site.

Answer 4

Ying needs Yang
Good needs Evil
Captain America needs Red Skull
But in politics each party takes turns being the bad guy.
Because each party is composed of Humans....they will both be flawed to the other but self-justified to themselves.
Besides it makes for good tv

Answer 5

The major parties in this country have been taken over by the loudest, instead of the most important.

Therefore, all we ever hear is biased complaining and whining. It seems like everyone today whines. Be it in music (emo music) or politics (pretty much everyone... yes even me, I'm not saying I don't).

Answer 6

The real problem is that Republicans do not careabout the poor, about the soliders - REPUBLICANS ONLY CONCERN is republicans.

Someone has to provide oversight, otherwise look at what happened in 6 years of no oversight.
Look what this administration has been allowed to do.

Now when the first REAL investigations are launched - what do we have?
Perjury, CIA leaks, firing of U.S. attorneys, Billions wasted, thousands of lives killed, VA discoveries with VA cuts proposed.

Heck without democrats, Republicans wouldnt be caring about our troops, would rush our troops into harms way, expect soldiers to fight with improper equipment WHILE billions go to their friends, attorneys get fired to be replaced by friends that are inexperienced in the white house.

The list goes on and on.
Democrats MUST argue with Republicans since republicans will do and spend money like they dont care about no one but themselves.

Only a selfish republican would argue with what Ive said, when the facts are plain to read.

Answer 8

It has been said in the past, that when there are extremists in the right and the left, they eventually become meet and can't truly SEE.

Answer 9

Because they're in love- with their OWN point of views. So it's only natural that they're going to hate the opposite sides... -kinda like cats & dogs... :)

Answer 10

That really deals with philosophy on social theory and I dont think I could do it justice by talking about that here.

Answer 11

cons- they wan to take away civil liberties and turn out mixed democratic republic into a facist state

libs- some are too extreme in making things fair to the point that they become unfair
