The General Political Thread

Marceaux, why do you call yourself a republican? What views of your actually are right leaning? You seem to favor the left a lot more when it comes to anything we've discussed.

Can't be Republican unless you have anti-muslim sentiment and don't care about renewable energy.

I chose neither, and consider myself generally central with certain topics being right or left. For instance, women should have the choice on whether they have abortions or not.

I usually follow this scale where left-right is based on economics. (Left being more government involvement in economics and right being less government involvement in economics.)

So generally Republicans are considered fairly far right & Democrats are considered centrists according to this scale.

[Conway]

Well to the far economic left would be 100% state run collectivism. The far economic right I imagine is an insanely free market. Being ok with capitalism would automatically drap the democrats closer to the middle, even if they're farther left.

[Furrnox]

Well yes and then you have Libertarian-Authoritarian which is based on civil rights.

That's why according to the politicalcompass.org which uses this scale puts me on the economic centre-left and very libertarian.

More London attacks.  A shame some Europeans (not all) still fail to address radical Islam as a real and actual threat.  Oh and I guess our travel alert was justified after all (since I last posted it lol)

Yeah thanks for the attacks USA goverment. Bit suspicious there isn't any attacks in USA.

Is this really the time for an "I told you so"? No wonder no one likes you.
