Yes, I hate to admit it but I have (in the distant past) voted for a Democrat or two. I'm older and wiser now, so the mistake will not be repeated.
Yup, you don't need to know much when you've made your decision before the question comes up. You've solved all your problems and don't need to think any more. Cool.
Be honest. Have you ever been willfully ignorant in a political debate, here or elsewhere? If so, why? Did you think it was necessary to get your point across? Did you think the person you were debating was introducing information that was irrelevant to the discussion? Did you have a personal attachment to topic that you felt was threatened by the information you were ignoring?
In addition, when you realize someone else is being willfully ignorant, how do you respond?
Sorry I don't understand the question....:mrgreen:

If the problem is actually identical. Often problems that are thought to be identical, because they share several high level issues, but they are not in detail; then a solution that worked before may not work in the new application or vice versa.Yup. Once an approach to a problem has been proven not to work, I don't waste any more time trying it over and over again while hoping for a different result. It's called "learning from experience."

So I'll take this as a yes...To be ignorant is to lack knowledge, information, or awareness.
I don't believe any political parties champion those three aspects.
Yes, it does.Does your definition of "willfully ignorant" essentially mean "playing dumb?"
