WHAT LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES NEED TO CHANGE ABOUT THEMSELVES
Political liberals and political conservatives are different.? Researchers at the University of Auckland found that conservatives were more polite while liberals were more compassionate.? Liberals had a more sympathetic affiliation with others and conservatives took a more reasoned approach.? Perhaps if conservatives were a little more compassionate and liberals a little more reasoned, we would have fewer congressional gridlocks.
