I encounter this form of bias quite often when I bring up the Libertarian party and their candidate, Gary Johnson. Many folks I communicate with, or attempt to communicate with, aren't interested because they know what they know and that's the way it is and they're right and no one is going to tell them otherwise.
Is the glass half full or half empty?!
Actually a trick question, but most don't see or realize this. Unless the glass is in space or a vacuum, such as space, it is always full. It may contain half liquid or whatever, but the empty half isn't really empty, it just doesn't contain the same substance as the other half. A half a glass of water contain water and air, therefore, the entire volume of the glass is occupied by something, therefore the glass is full, not full of water but full none the less.
What were we talking about?!

You're absolutely right. The vast majority of people vote the same way their parents did, whatever 'their' party is actually doing. Caused problems here over the last 20 years, and will cause more as the 'Brexit' issue unfolds...
More importantly, you may cause marital problems over the 'glass half full' issue. I drive my dear wife nuts because I can never remember which denotes the optimistic or pessimistic view- as far as I'm concerned, the important word is 'half', so half full and half empty are the same. This additional issue could push her over the edge...
