I Noticed About 80% Of Posters Here Are From The Left

So, which part of the left do you consider yourself?


  • Total voters

Got it. I thought maybe the question could be answered, but I understand if it can't.
I will say that I've found as a poster that if there's an in thread, saying "you" can rapidly lead to danger like toasting a cop with your bud light at a sobriety checkpoint.
 
Neolibs will never quit neoliberalism. They are the biggest obstacle, since they serve as the main defense against the left, always blocking for the right-wing.
 
Can't answer the poll question because it seems to only address choices for the left. There are those here that are not left. Some are independent, some are old school Republicans, some are Trump supporters.
 
So, it does.

Thanks for the clarification.

(I didn’t answer your idiot poll)

I need to make a poll for MAGA.

Does being MAGA make you a

A) beta

B) cuck

C) traitor

D) idiot
There was no name calling in my poll choices.
 
THAT reply might get you accused of being

  • Sociaist
  • Democrat Socialist
  • Communist
  • Fascist
  • Liberal
  • Progressive
  • Left Libertarian
  • Through and through Woke
  • Just an Anti-Trump leftist

Lol. You are 100% correct.
 
I'm a flip flopper (didn't see that as an option) - pretty much middle of the road with a few strong liberal beliefs and a few strong conservative beliefs. Depends souly on the candidate not the party and when in doubt I fall back on where I stand on certain social or economic issues.
 
So, I was wondering which part of the left you feel you are from. Just curious about how it breaks down.
Fascism is right wing not left wing.

An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.

Try to stick to facts.

I went back to check that I didn't say anything derogatory using 'you'.
 
As I have grown older I have become less concerned about political ideology, and more concerned about practical things. I have slowly arrived at the conclusion that people engage in politics to further their own economic and political interests, and then use political ideology to justify their actions after the fact. I believe very few people make political decisions on the basis of political ideology alone. We see this every single day but close our eyes to it. For example, Farmers claim to support capitalism, but then vote Trump who enacts high tariffs (which are anti-Capitalist), which then put Farmers on the verge bankruptcy, which then requires them to ask for great financial support from the government (which is Collectivist).

But I think the most accurate description of my positions now would be that of a mainstream liberal.

However, I will support just about any coalition that supports the permanent end of Republican-majority rule at the federal level. If this means electing democratic socialists, so be it.

I have zero respect for Republicans. I think they have become fascists. And I do not believe they are responsible enough to hold office at any level.

I do not believe our Constitutional Republic will last much longer if Republicans are in control of the government.

And as my primary interest is the continuation of our Republic, I now believe the Republican party should be utterly destroyed.
Interesting thoughts. Do you still believe that as you look in the mirror? Or, do you just think that about others?

Bullseye got mad at me last week because my profile says I am a Moderate. This was in response to my comments in a thread about Trump demanding a military parade for himself. Apparently, you can't be a moderate and also find fascistic/dictatorial displays to be disgusting.

Republicans have basically become far-right wing authoritarians/fascists. Sad to see.
 
Sell out? How?
You've endorsed a Dear Leader willing to ignore the checks and balances of the Republic, to legislate through EO, use government force as punishment against individuals or corporations Dear Leader feels do not support him or Party, and engage in anti-capitalist Tariff wars with the globe with no check on that power.

This is just central-planning 101. It's the basics to cementing a system like that of China. Dear Leader with absolute power, Single Party control of everything, and forced adherence to Party.
 
Do I have a link to prove you supported Roy Moore?
LOL. I just love the fact that you and your clique are mining posts several years old to use to attack me with. I must be a threat to you and that gives me an incredible amount of pleasure that you and your crew have decided that I am enough of a threat that you feel that you must destroy me. Have at it. Good luck.
 
Trump doesn't need me to call him.
Yeah.

Wouldn’t do you any good. He wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire.

So he certainly wouldn’t rush to protect your feels.

Or was that some kind of threat?
 
So, I was wondering which part of the left you feel you are from. Just curious about how it breaks down.
So it’s either "authoritarian cuddle puddle" or "the left"? No middle ground? Like, if I’m into minimalist welfare system and protecting the rights of capital owners, and not worshipping orange demigods, do I just spin a wheel of socialism and pick a label? Democratic tofuist? Neo-woke classical anarcho-centrist? Help me out here.

Nah.

We’re waiting to revel in schadenfreud when trump gets around to ****ing you.

Ima laugh and laugh.

Moderate Right, the President of the United States of America is now suggesting that we send U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador. The President is also now disobeying a direct order to return Abrego Garcia home after the government refused to respect Garcia's due process rights.

I am a former Republican. My parents taught me about the Constitution and the Rule of Law. I am pro-business.

Nothing that's happening right now is normal.

And if anyone supports this crap, there is something wrong with them, not me.

Don’t ask hard questions.

It hurts their brains and their feels.

This one time, my buddy and I were looking for a venue to drop our demo tape off at, and I turned the wrong way down a one way street. I immediately got pulled over, and I was so flustered that I handed the cop all of the money in my wallet instead of my license. Luckily, he just started laughing, and I apologized for the mistake. Looking back on it, I see how badly that could have turned out.
