the answer isn't to go further right lmao
Well I actually tried challenging my beliefs
and talking to people
Right the answer is to vote within a rigged party and hope they stop rigging it
and discussing ideas
Still Trump isnt much farther right than Hillary votters are left.
@Blackhawk342 why do you think so?
Undemocratic!
@>_ with whom?
Hell hillary voters are more left than trump voters are Right
Um to the right we have hotter chicks
>goes Republican
trump is more like a closed borders libertarian tho
@GingaBomber dems and republicans are both right wing lmao
however the only people willing to talk to me openly were ancaps. all of my liberal friends refused, had nothing to say, and were not willing to challenge any idea past the late night tv show talking points.
oh lord
@GingaBomber If that is true this country is fucked
How so though?
communism inbound
Im saying trump is closer to the center than hillary
they're both right wing
Honestly
How the hell is capitalism=right wing
Financial isnt a partisan issue
@GingaBomber hillary is closer to the center by being a millimeter to the left
People who care about politics just aren't busy enough
true
By being open borders, pro socialized health care and increased taxes?
Like I would go into an issue to discuss something and why people believe what they believe but when talking to leftists they only responded with talking points. When I pressed further they always just walked away from the conversation. Then they started reacting more negatively towards me in general for ever even questioning and asking them to defend their positions.
@Abel as I see it, the left-right spectrum is in general capitalism vs socialism
Where libertarians and ancaps gladly discussed with me for hours and defended/tested their positions.
@GingaBomber yes
And a 180 on most shit is only 1mm?
@>_ Why didn't you talk to any leftists?
V, that explains theyve become heavily invested in the political sphere. A common view and tactic used by socialists, communists and anti trumpers is to not debate an issue because "cant lose a debate if you dont have a debate"
Socialism is far left though
It's not just left
Damn you and I have a very differnet scale when it comes to political leaning
The US is right wing compared Europe. But most politicial parties are authoritarian, basically by nature.
