Yeah, and that's a terrible thing LMAO
The capitalist in me wants people to compete because we win
At the moment it's not really direct competition it's more or less just hysteria on both ends of the spectrum with a large chunk of Common Sense siding with the right at this point
~~ever since the 2016 election I’ve been more right-wing, so politically that just seems like something that’s fine with me, but the real reason for it being so bad for us is how much destruction Democrats and their voters will bring with them if they go down~~
I think a lot of the issues dems run on aren't actually issues. It's just that they create problems.
Well, the funny thing is, today I am practically considered conservative but in 2006 when I graduated high school and was able to vote I would very clearly be considered a liberal
It's literally things that if you ignore them they go away.
They like to create problems rather than solve them
What part of me just thought about it in a more abstract archetypical sense
If progress is against conservation
Everyone but me is an NPC.
Progress will eventually reach the point where it is no longer useful, and at that point conserving progress is more important
I’ve always been a drone
Also sir
If the progressive representation is no longer useful, they might create their own problems just to remain relevant
It’s drone, not NPC
We've already long passed the point of where progress is regressive.
I gtg
Post scarcity is fantasy, not sci-fi
Check your f****** pronouns
Shit happens
Well in my case I will always be pro-choice even if I can see valid arguments
And that's mainly just because I think some people shouldn't breed LMAO
There will always be scarcity. Everyone only has one body.
"who can be more right-wing"
If the right becomes so dominant that the left is no longer a real party, then chances are the "right" will splinter into a new left and right. Example: the number of people who were liberal and are now considered conservative. That rift is still there.
So in reality it would just be people fighting to be moderate
That's the only thing I can hope for
Obliterate the current left entirely.
Adopting ideas the previous left had, in the aftermath of their own train wreck
Faction the right.
It just doesn't seem like a winning strategy
Our current left is just plain unacceptable, holy shit.
your idea of liberal-conservative axsis is flawed.
Yes they are
Why don't really look at it as liberal vs conservative
I look at us Progressive versus conservative
Everything is left of the enlightened centre
I look at it as regressive vs conservative.
Even though the word Progressive might be the wrong word to use
It's a matter of attempt to change versus keep what's working
