I decided to keep the Elephant, both on CF but especially in real life because it ruffles the feathers of the most annoyingly proselytizing and pushy liberal people. Having grown up in the San Francisco bay area since I was a small kid, I grew to think opposite of what they think in every respect, religiously, politically, relationally... they pushed me to the opposite of the ideology that they tried to indoctrinate me with.
I'm curious why people hide pictures though. I mean - are you afraid of people connecting your thoughts with your face? How do you deal in offline life since you cannot hide without masks or paper bags?

^So.....communist revolution soon?
Then what is?I don't think communism is the answer.
Then what is?
Or maybe a parlimentary system would be more useful?I don't know, though I think a good start would be changing things (including some stupid state laws) that make it impossible for 3rd parties to be successful. Then maybe we'd get some decent 3rd parties and have real competition.

I guess that I don't understand how making it easier for 3rd parties being successful would make our overall plutocracy any different.
What you got against Smoochy?Not the RINO ones no.
I know this isn't a debating thread but in my opinion, if we keep getting more and more parties in, it will show just how a republic can be...nothing but a shouting match between representatives while outside sources control how our country is instead of the people that people supposedly vote to represent. We already have a hung Congress and we even have the 'Independents' in our Houses. Then again, direct representation just means that the mob rules.I don't know, though I think a good start would be changing things (including some stupid state laws) that make it impossible for 3rd parties to be successful.

To keep it all on topic...another reason why I hide my political icon is because I agree with 110 percent:
