-Never4ever- - you know, your position sounds very morally high-minded, and fair, and evenhanded and all that, to someone with say, no experience in anything. You've said basically that both sides suck, and none of us know jack, so it doesn't matter.
So, on the surface, I see the appeal. Complex issue, and it's not "partisan" to say that both sides suck. By and large, even, it's true - both sides have some pretty serious faults.
But...
Your position is fundamentally the most intellectually and morally vacant position a person can take. Apathy doesn't get you anywhere, and assuming that no one knows what they're talking about, because *you* don't know what you're talking about isn't particularly productive. I'm quite educated about the current political climate. I read a *lot* about it, because it has a tremendous fundamental impact on our lives, on a daily basis.
NOT knowing about politics is, unfortunately, consigning yourself to ignorance out of apathy, laziness, or some desire to hand over the reins of power to those that are going to bother to take them. You consign yourself into a position of submission. EXACTLY WHERE THE POLITICAL MACHINE WANTS YOU TO BE.
The less you know, the more power they have. The less you take action, the more power they have. The more ignorant you are, the more power they have. This isn't the view of a conspiracy-minded person, either - it's a simple, indisputable fact.
If you were to say that you understood and analyzed the issues based on a number of sources, and came to conclusions based on those, that left you outside the realm of either party - fine. But that's not the position you've taken, as far as I can tell. You've simply opted for the lazy moral high ground of vapid apathy.
