<human>:  i regard myself as a political independent,, i'm registered to vote but i don't belong to a party. for the sake of "full disclosure", these days i consider myself "leaning to the left" but surely not a true leftist. okay. it frustrates me to hear conservatives always agree with the GOP and liberals automatically with the dems. these folks, and there are a lot of them, agree with whatever position their party holds. it's closed mindedness and it's bad.
<bot>: I agree with you that there’s a lot of politicized groupthink among voters, which often leads to a lot of people acting in self-serving ways. I’m interested in hearing your opinion about this!
