although, watching MrRepzion debunk a video by another hypocritical christian is always fun

Ello

Halluuu

Always been dead center in the middle when it comes to politics of republicans have good policies that work, be all means same for the left.

Im from the UK but which side matches up with left/right wing with republicans etc???

K

Realistically there is no left wing party. They're both exceptionally far right in the States.

🙄

Though the Democrats are the furthest left but they're still pretty damned far into the right half the spectrum.

if there is no left then there is no spectrum...

Just because the two most powerful parties are not representative of the people doesn't mean that that is the case.

Most Americans actualy are more left than right. But for many reasons, it isn't represented in the politicians.

Money in politics being the biggest reason.

Theres so many definitions of left wing that I gave up trying to classify anything

too confusing

A lot of the time when people are complaining about the opposite side to what they believe in. they exaggerate and get things wrong and make it more of an "us vs them" rather than what is the best solution.

And a lot of the time, a lot of people confuse an authoritarian/libertarian issue for a left/right issue and blame the whole side for that. Even though that is painting it with a very broad brush that doesn't describe most on that side.

You see a crazy SJW trying to control people, people are too quick to bitch about "the left" in that sitaution but that's not a left/right issue.

In that case they're being authoritarian.

That's a seperate scale from left/right.

Wanting to control what people do, say, and think, is hardly something exclusive to the left or the right. People on both sides wish to do so.

That's why it's a seperate scale.

Yeah ive heard things although i also hear that the sides are more merged and its difficult to tell them apart

i just hate how people feel the need to 'pick a side'

There's always nuance to everything and you can't ignore it.

Labels tend to distract you from that nuance.

buzzword

Labels are just shortcuts, they're not supposed to carry real meaning that is of any use.

American politics confuses me cant even handle my own countries politics

i dont really bother with politics anymore

sup goys

Hi

how are yall?

Actually most countries it's the same. There's always a few groups that want to control people and they usually get more power than other groups.
