Both political sides only rely on deductive reasoning when it suits them

[Ap0calypse]

Most political ideologies are summarized and differentiated by what pattern of issues they choose to solve by either:

1. making an assumption about a perceived issue and hoping the solution they made up works
or
2. identifying a problem's existence using confirmed statistical data as evidence, while also detailing a resolution with an articulated plan of action


Two extreme examples:

Communism: correctly identifies that corporations threaten economic liberty using valid examples, but incorrectly assumes a communist government with wealth/power won't threaten economic liberty

Libertarian: correctly identifies that authoritarian governments threaten economic liberty using valid examples, but incorrectly assumes corporations with wealth/power won't threaten economic liberty

 

[Benj-amin]

The purpose of American politics in general is to further enslave humanity via enacting successive laws and legislation, and to polarize and divide humanity with differing opinions.
All Republics and democracies are is Tyranny by the Majority.

Everything is governed by personal convenience in the long run. It is something innate in us, when you are in a position of power, there will come a point where you start to think more about yourself, than in the movement you lead.
