Okay. If that's your logic, then your opinion is just objectively wrong by your own admission because you can only either believe in everything "conservative" or everything "liberal" with nothing inbetween. And because there are other people in this very post who aren't like that, it means you are 100% wrong. Binary. (And I hate that you're making me look like I side with 'Pronoun' retards to have to explain the flaws in this logic.)

you can only either believe in everything "conservative" or everything "liberal" with nothing inbetween.

That's not what I wrote.

You overlook my reference to ternary characteristics, and you are applying a political binary to everything (which I've not done. I've merely mentioned the use of two terms).

I'm surprised by your response and your post, to put it very politely.

Then I apologize, cause I don't understand what you're saying. You said you disagree with the idea of someone being just a "liberal" or "conservative" (as in, all the BS that comes with those groups) but then also said they are two poles on the political spectrum, which would imply either you are one of those two things, or there's a lot inbetween the two sides of "liberal" or "conservative." But that would be agreeing with what I said here. As in, people can hold many values that are neither exclusively liberal or conservative and that a balance of some of those issues would be necessary. For example, I'm pro free speech, pro second, pro capitalism, and pro death penalty, but also pro rights for everyone (who's law abiding), pro choice, pro healthcare, and pro fair wages. To someone in the modern day Western world, that would make me contradictory to either modern liberalism or conservatism, which all have their very rigid rules you're not allowed to deviate from, such as being "conservative, but pro-choice."

In other words, if you're saying politics is on a spectrum inbetween the extreme end of liberalism and the extreme end of conservatism, what are you disagreeing about with my assertion? Cause that's what I'm basically saying. Maybe I misunderstood something here.
