Just like stereotypes come from little truths, there is definitely a reason some people say that :cookieMonster:

Yeah, because they're parroting their parents...
DestroyerOfBlocks:
if you agree with your parents you're parroting them and if you don't you're just needlessly rebelling
IkeTheGeneric:
My (admittedly flippant) point is the action of parroting their parents is taking the viewpoint of they identify with, but don't fully grasp, and corrupting them into a more simplistic and less indicative of the truth than what the original opinion was. Kind of in the same nature of reading an article halfway through, making a judgement and then turning around and using said judgement to personally attack somebody's political belief on a forum.
The Democratic isn't defined by a lust for free capital and a facade of progressive social policies, it's just a harsh critique that they take as a full truth, much like they're taking my tongue-in-cheek sleight at face value.

Honestly, anyone who says "Democrats just want free stuff" have probably never had a conversation with a Democrat.
