The Kyser is more flexible and ready to move around in a hurry and do what needs doing to take care of business.

The Shubb is adjustable and adaptable but a bit slow to move to take up new positions.

I'd say the Kyster is more of a leftish radical activist, and the Shubbster is a middle-of-the road type, what we'd call liberal where I live.

A conservative capo would be one of those ones that classical guitarists use with a sort of screw clamp, or with a string and a peg. Though maybe a true American Conservative would scorn capos and use the finger. (English Conervatives wouldn't be playing a guitar anyway.)

After all, there's nothing in the Constitution about a right to bear capos.
