    Looking through all the comments in this topic, it’s sad to see that at this point we’re arguing about defining labels, instead of solving problems.

        Politics is about getting people to work together towards a goal. This applies from the UN all the way down to community gardens. The power and money seeking are a corruption of its purpose.

          Politics is about getting people to work together towards a goal.

          and

          The power and money seeking

          are the same thing. Your goal may be to help people. The goal of conservatives is to help themselves. That’s why they think liberals are misguided.

          They think “Stupid liberals helping others, they’re idiots. They could be helping themselves!”

        Politics isn’t about solving problems. It’s about money and power.

        Its both actually, in various degrees, based on the person/party.
