ERROR: "Ideology and Party Are the Same"
Captions available
The idea
The claim that ideology and party are the same is false: ideology is a belief structure; a party is an organization.
In practice
Both major parties have held conservatives and liberals, and independents hold ideologies with no party.
Where people slip
The two usually correlate; correlation is what makes the conflation tempting.
