That’s like me saying all the Obama supporters **** white people. Racism goes all different directions, I don’t like McCains politics either but no ones calling me a ****** for that. This election shouldn’t be about race, it should be out America and we got all sorts of colors in the good old USA. Stop using the cop out that everyone who disagrees with a black politician hates black people, we may just **** his ideas.

I have not seen much come out of any political candidate. You can vote for your favorite candidate, but your life probably still remains same or worsens. Same holds if the opponent is elected. Then why follow politics as if its most important thing in the world?

Are you fully educated in politics or just being a coffee table politician?

Are you people commenting on politics in this Ask-Answer forum actually college educated in politics and political theory or are you just throwing out your beliefs to see if you get allies? After all, you wouldn’t consult with a roofer if you need electrical work on your home. So now who’s clinging on to what’s comfortable? I’ve got 2 degrees in the subject matter, what qualifies you to be authorities?

Why does politics make so many incapable of critical thought?

smoogs asked:


Why do so many people allow themselves to be completely blinded by partisan politics? It seems as if many people lose their ability to use any critical thinking whatsoever during times of elections, and they allow themselves to be dragged along by politicians’ false words.

So many people buy into idiotic attack ads from their favored candidate, and it puzzles me how people can buy into such nonsense without doing some fact checking.

Is the root problem of Americans not being able to use critical thinking a problem with the education system, such as relying on rote learning, or are humans just naturally biased?

Today’s politics is all about creating fear and hatred in the electorate. What led America to this? And why?
