Question

Help answer this question below.

Why do so many Americans insist on grouping each other into Conservative or Liberal. Isn't it possible that a person is not best defined by the party he or she votes for? If you like to identify yourself with one party or political ideology, why?

    It's not American's... And it's not just politics. Although it does drive me crazy how American's have this 'You're a republican, you must be an ignorant, intolerant, narrow-minded racist'... 'You're a democrat, you must be a whiney, politically correct pansy with no back-bone' Mentality you seem to have going over there.

    Every single person we meet, we categorise almost instantly. Theist/Atheist, rich/poor, Nationality, male or female, attractive/unattractive, Smart/Dumb, Young/Old... The list goes on! We treat people differently according to which of these attributes they have, and comparing them to our own... It's just human nature in my opinion.
