Re: Being a liberal is hard

I have changed my mind on this subject recently.

Sorry, but this is a conspiracy theory.

"Liberals think one thing but vote another" is just absurd.

It would be the same thing, by the way, if you affirmed this of conservatives, so no, I am not picking on libruls only.

In fact, you know I used to affirm that of conservatives, that they were too afraid to stand against Big Government.

If they really thought something different than they vote, they'd campaign for it publicly and effect change that they could then vote for. For instance, libruls single-handedly have managed to change public opinion about gays, up to the abolition of DADT and a raise by the tens of points for the support for gay marriage which already makes impossible a federal Constitutional amendment to prevent it.

So no, if the libruls vote for wars, bailouts, encroachments on civil rights, the sex panic, and anti-youth, it's because they too believe in it, not because they are too afraid to differ from it.

No, you think as you vote. And if you don't vote as you think, you're still not better than someone who thinks as you vote, so I don't have any reason to like you or trust you better.
