I heard my mom say something like "isn't he a republican though?" or some shit like that. Like why does it matter which letter he has next to his name if he has good ideas.
The two party system was a dumb idea to reinforce, mang
Right - more control to private sector
Left - more control to governments
In theory.
In practice, they're both bought out by busniesses and monied interests, so it's moot.
While the left around the Iraq war was completely against the government. These ideas shift
Yeah
That's the horseshoe theory
They end up in the same place
it's like if the horseshoe was made of mercury
You need a constant flux
You can't stay in the middle
I thought the horseshoe theory was that the extremes of the right and left, in terms of ideology, is that they end up in the same place?
Well, yeah
Their extremes
I was talking purely about money in politics.
it's that they're fundamentally the same
It's all nepotism
Because of our lame social nature
There's a difference, though
One comes from the production of goods/services
The other comes from the escalation of power of those manufacturers
I think arguing definitions is a good way to miss the point though
It's all cyclical, because products and ideas go obsolete
Yeah, good point. It's a superficial issue at best
Just avoid using the established and dusty/stagnant political monikers and explain your fundamental issues like you would to a four year old
Minus the somewhat denigrating tone of voice
People don't seem to appreciate that
yeah pretty much lol. Just saying "oh I'm a libertarian" leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Just say what you believe in pertaining to the relevant issue
Remember Trump's run in the 2000s?
nope
He withdrew from the race
Because of infighting of his party "The Reform Party"
He expressed his concerns by referring to David Duke, Pat Buchanan, and Lenora Fulani as a Klansman, a Neo-Nazi, and a Communist, respectively.
"Drrumff **never** even disavowed David Duke! What a racist."
Lol he mentored HRC
The human rights commission?
I'm a europoor, please be patient
