Nice try

2020-03-01 01:10:57 UTC  

Well, the compass defines left-right as economic. Left is collectivist, right is capitalist.

2020-03-01 01:11:17 UTC  

even without the compass

2020-03-01 01:11:31 UTC  

the farther you go from the center of ideas, the farther you go from sensibility from the other side.

2020-03-01 01:11:51 UTC  

You should always make an effort to be objective and open.

2020-03-01 01:12:06 UTC  

even if it goes against your current views

2020-03-01 01:12:20 UTC  

Being open is different from being centrist.

2020-03-01 01:12:38 UTC  

but most open minded political folk are center leaning

2020-03-01 01:12:58 UTC  

Check out this thread being brigaded lol

I haven't really met many people on either side that are deeply invested in their party that were objective.

2020-03-01 01:13:14 UTC  

Although some centrists are open, centrism also denotes a lack of political knowledge. Not always though.

2020-03-01 01:13:32 UTC  

Meaning, if you score a near-center, it might highlight political apathy.

2020-03-01 01:13:46 UTC  

Although, you could also be informed, but just centrist.

2020-03-01 01:13:51 UTC  

I used to be further right leaning.

2020-03-01 01:14:04 UTC

I've even been on the left before, but i've swayed between the two and have sat at moderate authoritarian right.

2020-03-01 01:14:53 UTC  

center is 2015, and 2016 is on the far right side(economic deregulation)

2020-03-01 01:15:06 UTC  

then from 2016, i shift diagonally to the center, but up.

2020-03-01 01:15:55 UTC  

People keep telling me that we live in a far right country and people like Bernie and AOC are actually centrists

2020-03-01 01:15:59 UTC  

my last test I was p sure I was high authoritarian right.

2020-03-01 01:16:00 UTC  

This is what reddit does to your brain

2020-03-01 01:16:07 UTC  

*Compass definitions. Capitalism is not necessarily "right-wing".

2020-03-01 01:16:12 UTC  

AOC and bernie are definitely not centrists.

2020-03-01 01:16:19 UTC  

No shit

2020-03-01 01:16:36 UTC  

US is definitely slightly right, because most politicians are favorable to the free market.

2020-03-01 01:16:46 UTC  

The US is majority right, due to many factors.

2020-03-01 01:16:49 UTC  

However, that could change, and it is right now.

2020-03-01 01:17:16 UTC  

Yeah our country has a history of "consoom"

2020-03-01 01:17:32 UTC  

I don't think we'll see a meaningful shift by election.

2020-03-01 01:17:38 UTC  

I think the majority of america is red.

2020-03-01 01:17:47 UTC  

and will get donald elected again.

Marijuana should be legal federally

2020-03-01 01:19:14 UTC  

People should be allowed to make their own mistakes

2020-03-01 01:19:22 UTC  

not a mistake to smoke marijuana

2020-03-01 01:19:27 UTC  

it's a choice

2020-03-01 01:19:35 UTC  

Its a mistake lol

2020-03-01 01:19:37 UTC  

there's no inherent right or wrong with consuming a natural herb

2020-03-01 01:19:40 UTC  

I think you're wrong.

2020-03-01 01:19:43 UTC  

Especially if you do it all the time
