The fediverse is an interesting place with both right wing and tankie shills as well as "enlightened centrists" (which in the US is mostly right wing apologists with window dressing). All are idiots, or propagandists. I like calling them all out.

I believe in left of center regulated capitalism with a strong social security net, personally. I'm a fan of Clinton, Biden, Gavin Newsom, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, though I have major disagreements with all of them on some issues. I believe authoritarianism is morally wrong and I believe anarchism is a foolish idea. I'm not as familiar with the specific policy positions of non US politicians but I generally agree with the western European and Scandinavian approaches to government, with the exception of the surveillance state. In a very broad sense my ideal state would take that model, make having an educated population the #1 priority, and inject a healthy level of American "the ultimate power resides with the people, who should have the means to overthrow a corrupt government if necessary".

I think with a hefty dose of appropriate regulation, capitalism can solve the great majority of societal ills in the world.

I think a strong Western military is a necessity and I think the Pax Americana is an excellent thing for the world.

I think taking action within the current democratic system is far more effective than dreaming about some revolution.

I think the way out of our current mess is to VOTE and push candidates further left.

For an example of a position I can respect but ultimately disagree with, the idea that we should ban guns to save lives. It's a reasonable position to take. I just think it's not worth it, but I wouldn't call anyone supporting it an idiot.
