I actually openly embrace the concept of a democracy with multiple parties representing various views. I recognize that even my party isn't necessarily going to make the country better. I have the maturity to realize that even my party needs to be held accountable and challenged if it ever wants to succeed and that every country needs a careful balance of powers that keep each other in check.

That doesn't mean that I am apathetic towards politics, however. I wholeheartedly believe in the politics I believe, but I recognize that people that oppose are not my enemies, even if I disagree with them.

Aren't you Canadian? I feel politics typically isn't as polarizing here as it is in the US.

Yes, but I don't really agree with that. I think it's a lack of exposure and the more understated political attacks give that impression, but it's incredibly polarizing. For example, Saskatchewan is almost unanimously conservative both provincially and federally, and people are loyal even when those parties completely drop the ball. Hell, my facebook is always half divided between people praising Trudeau and those levying all sorts of ridiculous claims against him.
