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

she's not really big on British politics

heck, she could have cared less when Prince Harry got married

Monarchies are lame af

these days? yes

I’d say in general

some people actually inaccurately compared the British Royal Family to welfare people

it isn't the same

much of their income doesn't actually come from taxes, it comes from collecting rent from property all over England

Although it should be made clear that the Republican party became a platform for both "true" liberals and conservatives. What came of the Democratic Party? (oh no)

the main players in the Democrap party lost their minds

it's creepy to watch

Dems feels the same way about the right

I thought I was gonna vomit when I saw how much the press loved Obama

Well I mean you are racist...

That makes sense

I'm amazed they didn't build solid gold statues of Obama in each news headquarters and kiss it on the ass for good luck

You talking to me?
