At quite literally the best high school in my county.

2020-10-19 14:18:16 UTC  

Yeah I don't know why everyone should be locked down when it's only a small minority that are vulnerable

2020-10-19 14:18:30 UTC  

Ikr?! That's the most leftist thinking ever

2020-10-19 14:18:55 UTC  

The only fair thinking I agree with is fair respect. I don't respect the one that disrespects me.

2020-10-19 14:20:03 UTC  

But this kind of thinking that, "if this vulnerable minority is like that, you shall be the superheroes that protect them", like, do I even know them?! 👁️ 👄 👁️

2020-10-19 14:22:20 UTC  

This is my take on it, let the young and healthy carry on with life as normal, because the statistics show it doesn't effect them. If you're vulnerable health wise perhaps quite old you should be helped by the government to take some time off until you feel it's safe. But all of this should only be advisory, nothing should be forced

2020-10-19 14:22:34 UTC  

EXACTLY.

2020-10-19 14:22:44 UTC  

The neodictature is here.

2020-10-19 14:23:04 UTC  

And our (surprise surprise) liberal government was prolly the best at it

2020-10-19 14:24:19 UTC  

I hope libertarians vote for Trump and the republicans, the dems are pushing for more forced lockdowns

2020-10-19 14:24:45 UTC  

Yeah, I bet that our national liberal government would lockdown us too

2020-10-19 14:24:54 UTC  

They've already locked down Bucharest

2020-10-19 14:26:11 UTC  

In the UK we have our left wing party labour they're trying to push for more nationwide lockdowns as well

2020-10-19 14:27:08 UTC  

Ya know what's the funny thing? The right-wing party is doing all of that

2020-10-19 14:27:12 UTC  

😆

2020-10-19 14:27:27 UTC  

The social democrats and national liberals just call each other names

2020-10-19 14:27:39 UTC  

But they're really the same shit to most Romanians

2020-10-19 14:29:59 UTC  

The national liberals are the more conservative though?

2020-10-19 14:30:15 UTC  

which one is in power at the moment

2020-10-19 14:30:33 UTC  

Yeah, but... theory does not equal practice.

2020-10-19 14:30:59 UTC  

In theory, **yes**, they should be the more conservative one. BUT!

2020-10-19 14:31:14 UTC  

Due to Romania's past as a socialist country...

2020-10-19 14:32:10 UTC  

They're pretty much the same party for the most part

2020-10-19 14:32:22 UTC  

just slight differences

2020-10-19 14:32:22 UTC  

I mean, yeah

2020-10-19 14:32:34 UTC  

That's for sure

2020-10-19 14:32:48 UTC  

A lot of social democrats came to the other party for some reason

2020-10-19 14:33:16 UTC  

Social democracy is a nice way of saying "we'll keep socialism, but we pretend it's capitalism."

2020-10-19 14:33:22 UTC  

I think the two party system we have in the US is cancer/divisive. People have to jump on board with a lot of nonsense positions on issues based on the one that matters most to them.

2020-10-19 14:34:26 UTC  

It’s a nuance vs coalition between parties to get stuff done. But I think it’s part of why we are so polarized. I’m economic conservative and socially moderate

2020-10-19 14:35:05 UTC  

I mean, Romania's polarized as well, but we have many, many more parties.

2020-10-19 14:35:23 UTC  

Some parties are just irrelevant, while others are too overrated.

2020-10-19 14:35:54 UTC  

The only alternative would be a one party system, I guess you could still vote on the elected representatives

2020-10-19 14:36:18 UTC  

If overturning roe v wade meant never winning another election, I would suggest not to do it. Lest you give power to the left on a more permanent basis. Because the majority of people aren’t in favor of making abortions illegal. But this is the issue we allow to drive party affiliation

2020-10-19 14:36:21 UTC  

Nah, the only alternative would be a no-party system. All of them shall be independent.

2020-10-19 14:36:50 UTC  

Instead of parties, there'd be some kind of groups, you know?

2020-10-19 14:37:06 UTC  

But the focus shall be on the person elected, not on the party.

2020-10-19 14:37:45 UTC  

Yeah I think if the libertarians and one or two more had some money and some air time people could be more precise in showing what’s important to them even if some of these wind up mostly voting together strategically.

2020-10-19 14:38:21 UTC  

The issue is the people supporting the president are usually more important than president themselves (and that’s usually the party). Not including Trump

2020-10-19 14:38:49 UTC  

Yeah, the person could be awesome, but he'd be supported by corrupts like Soros

2020-10-19 14:39:20 UTC  

The way things are so polarized into black and white needs to get fixed. So it feels like one country and multiple opinions are tolerated
