I'm a dead center libertarian. I support free markets for marijuana and prostitution. But the bible thumpers leave me alone when I tell them I am agnostic.
Same. Hanging on to that green corner by a thread. It seems like everyone is skewing liberal, which is understandable given the nature of the questions.
For example, should clean water be a right? 99% of people, including staunch conservatives are going to say, yeah, sure. If you were to ask how that policy should be implemented, you'd get drastically different answers though. Should water be subsidized by the government? Taxed as infrastructure? Is it free then? What about foreign policies regarding the lack of clean drinking water in other countries? Is that our responsibility? What about private businesses that contribute to water scarcity in poor countries by draining their natural aquifers & selling it as bottled water? Should there be sanctions against those corporations?
Now you have all kinds of different answers.
This whole thread is funny though. It really highlights people's misconceptions about, not only what constitutes 'a liberal,'but their fundamental misunderstanding of their own beliefs.
Everyone wants to be a moderate...so now shitduz is a libby & southtard, who in his next breath says he thinks multiculturism, aka black people moving into his neighborhood is dangerous, calls himself a very slightly right leaning moderate.
My British Labour Party membership card is proof that I'm a raving libtard fascist socialist commie as far as many Americans are concerned.
Of course, many of the British far left comrades would see me as anything but a lefty due to how, after being a Labour Party member for more than twenty years, I mailed my resignation letter within half an hour of the unelectable, self-righteous twat Corbyn being elected leader.
To be fair, most Americans have absolutely no idea that the liberal party is conservative, and that laboUr is to the left. Always makes me chuckle when people here call you a filthy LIBERAL
I got in quite the argument with him on here a while back. I stopped when he started outright lying. He clearly not only supports the domestic terrorism on the Capitol but believes Trump had nothing to do with it.
It's funny. They believe Trump is intelligent yet assert that he had no idea what would happen when he held a rally titled "Save America" and sent looney QAnon nuts to the Capitol who believe Democrats are lizard people who drink baby blood under pizza places with the Devil. As much as I hate him, Trump actually isn't an idiot; he's just a piece of shit with at least average intelligence who wouldn't let his main base come within 100 meters of his resorts.
I agree. The test was clearly devised by a liberal who oversimplified. Most of the questions are like, "Are you a piece of shit or nah?"
Rookie mistake. The right doesn't just /admit/ to being shady. They verbally deny it while reinforcing that perception of them with policy.
I actually read it hahaha, and I can't believe I did because I can usually only make it about two sentences in to his logistically circular, insult ridden, nonsensical rants before I give up. & him & I have a tacit understanding that I won't read any of his outbursts, but that entire interaction was amusing. You lasted so much longer than most. He actually only "wins" arguments because the other party gets exhausted by his nonsense & fucking gives up
My favorite argument of his, that I've seen parroted all over this site lately is that the storming of the capitol was somehow justified by the fact that BLM riots exist? I mean, let's assume for the sake of argument that there were no peaceful protests & everyone who attended was a bloodthirsty, looting thug.
So we can now ignore the bad shit we did...because look at this bad thing that happened over here *flaps arms.* Since someone else did something wrong, I can do whatever I want.
Even preschoolers know that just because behavioral problem timmy bit another kid & didn't get a time out, that doesn't mean they can all viciously attack the teacher's legs like a pack of ravenous sharks when they aren't into naptime. just because he did it first. Somehow the concept of two wrongs not making a right is not even lost on fucking children, but here we are...
"REFUTED!!!" I swear he's made me gave a pavlovian rage response to that word
What are your political views?

That compass test says I'm pretty much in the middle of the left-libertarian sector, and I think that's pretty much correct.

I'm also left-libertarian but I'm almost at the very bottom-left of the whole damn thing about to slip off the chart.
