I asked on here a while ago what this disdained word "liberal"
means in political context. Genuine quesiton.
What are we calling people who believe in equality and live and
let live attittude?
Is there a box for me?
Yes there is a box for you.-------see what I did there
Right, Left, Far Right, Far Left, Middle Right, Middle Left,
Extreme Far Right, Extreme Far Left, Right wing Capitalist,
Socialist, Communist, Nazism far-left, Dictatorial far right,
Gender-less far-left, God-given gender right, and about a hundred
different more names are all the different terms that have arisen the
past couple of decades to describe certain political ideologies.
They are not legal political terms but are more “Name Calling”
to demean the other party.
The truth is that here are only two prominent Working parties as
of now, in the USA. Republican, and Democratic. But in reality there
are lots of political parties. The only problem is that none of the
other parties have been willing to take it to the next level💪

So what informed voters in the USA do is study the platform of
each party at election year and choose the party that they feel will
benefit them and their family and the Country for future generations.
These are called the “Silent Majority”

The silent
majority is an unspecified large group of people who do not
express their opinions publicly. They do not join in the
demonstrations against this or that thing going on in the media.
They do not join in the counterculture, and they do not participate
in any public discourse. This is what is called Middle Americans.
They are the one that are being overshadowed in the media by the more
vocal minority. These are the ones that study the platform of each
party and vote accordingly.
Un-informed voters on the other hand will vote on what Political
Scientists call “Character Politics” These are usually
individuals who never went to college, and if they did, they never
took Political Science courses seriously.
They have no idea what the political platform of each party is for
the particular election years. They don’t even know where to look.
They depend on the News media, blogs, and posts for information on
the character of the candidates running for office - not realizing
that the candidate they are voting for might be working against their
interest. These are the ones that instead of discussing platform
objectives, they use name calling like “He” a bigot, He’s a
Liar, He’s a Russian Spy, He grabs them by the Pus*Y
I have a relative that is a Political Scientist who studies the
voter trend. He says America is slowly becoming a nation of
uninformed voters who depend on the news media, twitter, facebook, google, etc.. They don’t realize
that the news media in the USA is the main “Marketing Tool” for
Corporations to sell their products and Political Parties to buy
“Smear Campaigns” against the opposing party. The News media is mainly
for the benefit of the uninformed voters who don’t know any
better.
He says being uneducated in the Country’s Constitution is a
major part of it, and also, being gullible and easily fooled.
So instead of saying I vote for this President, -----an informed
voter will say, I vote for the Republican Platform because----(Name
the Reasons) or the Democrat Platform because ----(Name the reasons)
No party is going to have everything you wish for or
align with your perspective. But some parties objectives are so crazy
that just by looking them over. you can see with clarity that if
voted in, the citizens will suffer and the Country’s political
structure will start to change based on the political party’s
ideology.
That's what happened in places like Germany, Venezuela, and so many other countries whose citizens failed to study the platforms of the new political ideology making its way in.
