one thing that makes me sad is, some of our foes in the Democrap party are smart, but they use their intelligence on how to help themselves, or how to step on others, rather than to benefit society
RINOs aren't much better
we can't quite call them 100% stupid, but they certainly have not used their brains for something good or productive in their line of work
oh yeah, intelligent people write/type better than stupid people
Yeah the writing typing thing could indicate intelligence, could also indicate education, which get conflated often
Democrats strongly believe that they are helping society (and there’s some evidence to prove this)
Certainly, the economy fairs better under democratic presidents

I don't think that's accurate
Did you read the study? It’s staggeringly in depth
They measured the economy in like 20 different ways
And accounted for time from policy enactments
You can usually tell by how they express themselves and articulate their thoughts.
As far as the eyes go it's hogwash.
You could argue lighter eyes = higher intelligence due to European ancestry.
Lol
Surprised the admins allowed democrats in here
Republicans are autistic enough but I remember the flood of Bernie bros from the first political discords
I’m surprised I’m here too
@wahx "Certainly, the economy fairs better under democratic presidents", except for this one of course
Yeah it’s a generalized statement, notice how I didn’t say “Certainly, the economy always fairs better under democratic presidents”
You know about the idea that there was a party switch
Yeah, my mom lectures about this. Or used to when she taught polysci
I think it's a little different than what they say
This study is for modern presidents
Not talking about the study
Then what are you talking about?
How did parties switch according to you?
Well I'm about to get to that
Now back then it's fair to say that the Democrats were originally conservative, and the Republicans more liberal correct
You could clearly see it in the Civil War and events occurring after
However, today's Democratic liberals are not the liberals we would have seen back when the Republicans were liberals
In fact a liberal today (or a leftist rather) is completely different
An old fashion liberal today would be a rightwing libertarian
Probably because the terms liberal and conservative don’t mean jack shit
you should see what they're like in England
Oh in England it's a fuckin mess
yeah, I mean the Conservatives over there are elitist assholes, and the liberals are the ones trying to keep the elites in check
at least, that's what my English pen-pal says
Sounds like America
I think her mother is part of the Worker's Party or something
