Is it fair to call someone partisan if they hate both parties?

Question

I don't like the Democrats. They are cowardly and gutless. They are afraid to play hard ball and too often they don't play the game to win.

Republicans are misguided, at best (except for Ron Paul, who is totally, un-nerfably, uber). At worst, they are viciously regressive, sociopathic theocrats with no evident capacity for rational analysis of even the most simplistic domestic and foreign policy issues.

However, I have still been accused of partisanry. Is it possible to be a partisan even if one does not belong to either party?

Answer 1

What choice is there anyway. If we were to believe all that the media said, we will have a war mongering dangerous senior citizen suffering from dementia and on the other side, a young black man with muslim upbringing, racist, anti american, corrupted as well as associating with people of ill repute.

Answer 2

You can be partisan regardless of ideology.

Partisanship is not limited to any one party, all parties are partisan to some degree or else they wouldn't exist. The whole point of a political party is to promote an ideology.

Answer 3

My position as a 24/7 Pro War anti abortion Liberal Anarchist. Is both sides attack me every day; but I do not use this as reason to hate.

I believe hate is a sin  

Answer 4

You're partisan for Paul, but that's it.  Don't feel bad, I live in a place where the only election that counts is the democratic primary, people that tell me i'm biased i let go in my bad ear, and out the one that's even worse.

Answer 5

The answer is 'NO'. I think it'd be non-partisan if you hate both parties, at least if you hated both of them equally! Even though Ron Paul ran as a Republican, he's a Libertarian at heart and so doesn't count in this discussion...

Answer 6

Sorry boss, but I ain't accused you of nothing.

Answer 7

Partisanry is considered being biased and idealists toward one side which would make both Democrats and Republicans partisans. And since Ron Paul is not in the race I will have to choose which one will most represent my values even though it's a risk with either choice.  What does that make me?

Answer 8

Why don't you tell us what you really think?
