Census Where do you sit on the political left/right spectrum

Ender is gonna be a succdem in two years

 

what the sith is a succdem?

 

It's like a socdem except you get off by having your face stepped on by a fascist in riding boots.

 

The person who has loudly and publicly advocated for the literal shotgun wedding of fists and fascists faces will not let that happen.

Social democracy for all - capitalism and a safety net! lol @ people who believe socialism won't fail! etc

 

It's always the ones protesting the most in the open that are doing weird stuff behind closed doors...

 

you weren't meant to be able to hear that previous post of mine because my mouth was muffled by a steady procession of fascist boots.

 

I'm thinking zestier, like post-left. Like Ender just gets waaaaaaaaaay the hell into Max Stirner and Bob Black for some reason.

 

Any good he did is outstripped by his decision to take Brexit to a referendum.

 

mods I have been flamed, by way of suggested Hegelianism. Pls ban.

 

I think Ramza should be banned for the use of "zestier" alone.

 

"Zestier Hegelian" is the best Douglas Adams name that never was.

 

I personally saw it less as her selling out Sanders and more of her believing it was the best move to defeat Trump. I mean she's fought the corporates and Trump for years, so I could see her making the assumption that fighting from Clinton's side would succeed. Too bad Clinton flushed her entire campaign down the toilet and then blamed everyone but herself. Still, I think that choice will haunt Warren if she tries to run in '20. I'm personally hoping for a Sanders/Turner ticket.

 

Including yourself?

 

In retrospect, Sanders' propositions aggregated to a yearly cost neighbouring half the GDP of Italy. Or twice the increase in deficit the current administration's policies will result in by 2020, all things remaining standing.

 

That's what I find odd about this thread as an endeavor. There's not really any underlying substance here, but instead just an intense fixation on anxieties about how others are having some sort of imagined social benefit.

Ultimately, does it matter very deeply? A discussion based around people's policy views might yield interesting results about their themselves or the issues in question. Instead, we've restricted ourselves to a bunch of pointless bickering about who was and was not "really" faithful to some or another cause that now only exists historically. It's a tact that reinforces the same sort of social self-consciousness it purports to be concerned about.

 

I support the concept of corporate personhood and eagerly await the day when only corporations have personhood.

 

Yeah it's an Ender thread.

 

It's ok Wocky we know where you'd sit.

 

In the drone operator's seat

 

Sanders' propositions did include some things in line with policies in actual first-world democracies, but also included a couple of things which were very expensive and weren't that I remember (it was "fair play", demagoguery is mandatory in all first-world democracies ).

The USA don't particularly need to cut spending, though. They have ample opportunities for taxation and financing of policies which exist in about every other first-world democracy.

 

omg yes actually taxing Americans a fair amount would help. Nothing is more infuriating than an undertaxed people bitching about how much tax they pay.
