well, I did my part. https://gab.com/Niknar/posts/40313974
wow Jordan Peterson put out a Democrat ad
Doesn't surprise me.
I Knew he was more left
Jordan Peterson is in expert in particular field that's where hes best.
Why people want to know his opinion outside that field is odd to me as it's not his expertise.
He's never hidden his political positions
He's generally said he was more left leaning
Just not Leftist
Most of the big antisjw voices are left leaning.
Sargon, hell even Matt is left-leaning though now he's more centrist
Matt is turning into a conservative.
I wouldn't go that far but he's definitely anti-Left
At least the way it is now
What are his "left wing" positions?
no idea
He’s socially liberal
So are libertarians though
social liberal, fiscal conservative
He always struck me as more libertarian, who thought he was left by default.
If you are a big believer in social liberalism, then you would vote Democrat even if you were fiscally more conservative.
I don't think that's necessarily true
Particularly given that Matt votes R doesn't he?
Only recently has he agreed to vote R down ticket
I am probably considered socially liberal and economically conservative, but to me: Economics > Social Policy
Well because it's really partisan to just bluntly vote R all the way down
I didn’t go straight R.
But if you wave a gadsden flag around people will call you a rightie
"Fuck off leave me alone" isn't considered to be a left wing position these days
True but that's why before he was left-leaning. Not Leftist
He'd vote according more to principles at the time
I think this just feeds into my main issue with a single axis measurement of politics tbh
Like I said, he's more centrist now, but he did have a bend.
I would describe myself as fiscally conservative, socially conservative, judicially centrist, foreign policy 🙃 don’t know.
I'm judicially originalist.
If the law isn't what you want, pass a new law.
not sure what judicially centrist means.
Originalist? Interesting. I say centrist because I don’t want people to go to prison for drug use, I’m on the fence about the death penalty, I think mandatory minimums are probably a good idea for some crimes. Stuff like that. I call it centrist because I don’t know how else to describe it.
