con·fir·ma·tion bi·as
noun
the tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories.
This forum is the classic example of and a perfect case study in confirmation bias. This phenomenon very real is not limited to a specific political belief. It’s rampant on both sides and erodes any real possibility of true discussion.
How do we combat this and actually move the needle forward on some of the very important discussions that are on the table here?
**Please PLEASE PLEASE don’t not turn this thread into an anti-Trump or anti GOP/DEM thread. This forum is full of that already and there are plenty of places to express those thoughts.
