Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, Republican: Are Americans being deeply divided by their self-imposed labels?

this titls subject was posed by a friend Ms Cyprah. morning Ms C, well this seems to be a double edge sword. there is an inherent need people have to know who you are, friend or foe. the downside of that dynamic is misinterpretation. wrongly labeling someone has as many negatives as one can think of, most egregious is the potential to mislead other's for profit. which creates another problem, those who are legitimate can suffer as well as the other from not being availed of what ever positives may have resorted from being comfortable with entering into a collective situation. politics same scenario with different circumstance, being misled can result in entire countries being subject to tyranny, as well of being deprived of a potentially great leader. there seems to be legitimate needs such as self protection to know who you are dealing with, man as always screws up the common sense things in life through greed and desire to be controlling. this is also considered a game by some, you've heard the buzz words "his performance, if he wants to win he has to play the game, not playing to this side, only playing to that side", it becomes who goes home with the most marbles, with game being the keyword. law is refereed to as an adversarial effort, you see movies where one is innocent and the DA goes all out on a vendetta to prove him guilty, what happened to innocent until proven guilty? have's and have not's self explanatory. jobs office politic's all our lives are efforts of competition sibling's vying for parental favor, baby with mom for time to nurture and "if i cry loud and long i will get what i want" 1 baby 0 mom. continuation, politicians "if i lie and promise them everything (2.50 gas?) they vote for me" problem impossible, listen to all the things the right has promised on their first day in office, ain't that many hours in that 1st day lies, but the fickled, gullible and in some case's radically inclined electorate single file in to the corral, just to find out the guy's they trusted put them in the jackpot with those they had thought of as the other's. labeling means nothing if the stock boy puts you on the wrong shelf. we need to consider a vote for the other guy to get in the barrel can end up with that guy being your neighbor. which comes down to what's more important label and screw the other guy, or vote what will be best for them is also best for you. one side wants no regulation, no consumer advocate does that make you go hmmmmmmmmm?
