Party A goes out of their way to help you reaffirm everything you believe in and that even though the world is a scary place as long as you vote for them you stand a chance at being better off.

Party B goes out of their way to tell you that everything you believe is wrong and that your misbeliefs are the cause for a lot of strife in the world and the sooner you come to grips with that, the sooner you can be a part of rectifying things and help the world be a smoother place to be, but first you have to stop being so stubbornly wrong. Meanwhile, you see instances where they do get their way and things are still screwed up so how right could the actually be?

For Republicans, Democrats are Party B. For Democrats, Republicans are Party B.

For Independents? Everybody is a bunch of jackasses and maybe things would actually get better if everyone stopped acting like a bunch of teenagers who think participating in team sports is the be all and end all of highschool.
