wow Jordan Peterson put out a Democrat ad

2018-11-06 19:17:12 UTC  

Doesn't surprise me.

2018-11-06 19:18:10 UTC  

I Knew he was more left

2018-11-06 19:18:36 UTC  

Jordan Peterson is in expert in particular field that's where hes best.

2018-11-06 19:20:14 UTC  

Why people want to know his opinion outside that field is odd to me as it's not his expertise.

2018-11-06 19:22:33 UTC  

He's never hidden his political positions

2018-11-06 19:22:40 UTC  

He's generally said he was more left leaning

2018-11-06 19:22:44 UTC  

Just not Leftist

2018-11-06 19:25:17 UTC  

Most of the big antisjw voices are left leaning.

2018-11-06 19:25:51 UTC  

Sargon, hell even Matt is left-leaning though now he's more centrist

2018-11-06 19:26:09 UTC  

Matt is turning into a conservative.

2018-11-06 19:26:31 UTC  

I wouldn't go that far but he's definitely anti-Left

2018-11-06 19:26:42 UTC  

At least the way it is now

2018-11-06 19:27:17 UTC  

What are his "left wing" positions?

2018-11-06 19:27:29 UTC  

no idea

2018-11-06 19:27:52 UTC  

He’s socially liberal

2018-11-06 19:28:09 UTC  

So are libertarians though

2018-11-06 19:28:09 UTC  

social liberal, fiscal conservative

2018-11-06 19:28:35 UTC  

people who are individualist will lean right collectivist lean left....just a matter of time

2018-11-06 19:29:05 UTC  

He always struck me as more libertarian, who thought he was left by default.

2018-11-06 19:30:13 UTC  

If you are a big believer in social liberalism, then you would vote Democrat even if you were fiscally more conservative.

2018-11-06 19:30:26 UTC  

I don't think that's necessarily true

2018-11-06 19:30:38 UTC  

Particularly given that Matt votes R doesn't he?

2018-11-06 19:30:52 UTC  

Only recently has he agreed to vote R down ticket

2018-11-06 19:31:28 UTC  

I am probably considered socially liberal and economically conservative, but to me: Economics > Social Policy

2018-11-06 19:31:32 UTC  

Well because it's really partisan to just bluntly vote R all the way down

2018-11-06 19:32:15 UTC  

I didn’t go straight R.

2018-11-06 19:32:26 UTC  

But if you wave a gadsden flag around people will call you a rightie

2018-11-06 19:32:44 UTC  

"Fuck off leave me alone" isn't considered to be a left wing position these days

2018-11-06 19:33:28 UTC  

True but that's why before he was left-leaning. Not Leftist

2018-11-06 19:33:46 UTC  

He'd vote according more to principles at the time

2018-11-06 19:33:50 UTC  

I think this just feeds into my main issue with a single axis measurement of politics tbh

2018-11-06 19:33:59 UTC  

Like I said, he's more centrist now, but he did have a bend.

2018-11-06 19:35:03 UTC  

I would describe myself as fiscally conservative, socially conservative, judicially centrist, foreign policy 🙃 don’t know.

2018-11-06 19:37:18 UTC  

I'm judicially originalist.

2018-11-06 19:37:39 UTC  

If the law isn't what you want, pass a new law.

2018-11-06 19:37:58 UTC  

not sure what judicially centrist means.

2018-11-06 19:39:48 UTC  

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.

The one downside of weed being legalized here is that you just get ambushed by the smell of pot
