I don't have enough of an education on such things to say anything definitive. I base all my opinions related to such matters on a case-by-case basis.
economics can be confusing
e.g
Indeed.
you see yourself as left wing
so you're prone to left wing econ arguments
even tho they are very different
your subconscious bias exists
so alot of left wing people follow people like bernie without understanding things like minimum wage increases, increased taxes trade union power ext
You have to point to antecedent concepts in your definition, you are giving examples of power rather than defining it.
I can say one thing with certainty, however; we need to get money out of politics. The way things are now, politicians are often led more by the whims of their donors or fear of the wealth of others being used against them than their ideals.
"the ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way."
thats from google
"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here." —Qui-Gon Jinn
Hahaha
when it comes to money in politics i'm torn because they help the right wing but i can see how its morally wrong to centrist people
Big debate over "if money is speech"
not a topic i'm deep into
I guess power is just an incredibly abstract and broad concept.
Yep
By praying to the Athenian gods idk
Just hold your horses.
My PP conquered Greece so might be hard for me
You all read the rules, right?
yes
I believe that public opinion should not be tainted by misleading propaganda that gives the wealthy minority a louder voice than everyone else combined. I'd rather the apolitical and uninformed not participate in politics at all than have elections decided by masses of people who only know empty slogans and baseless rhetoric.
Then you'll be let in soon enough.
great
Being able to buy off politicians and use one's ridiculously vast sums of money to determine the outcome of elections undermines the purpose of democracy, if you ask me.
I'm not a fan of democracy so when it comes to talking about public opinion im not too bothered
however i do not know a good alternative
"Democracy is the worst system of government, aside from all the others."
ha
yes
Meh, it depends on what kind of democracy you're talking about. I favor a Constitutional democracy that secures individual rights.
Churchill has some bomb quotes
Yeah but over time democracies go further left wing
That video sums up well why i don't like democracy
'Tis why I dislike politics of money and propaganda; elections should be decided by merits, not marketing.
