John Fetterman was a bait and switch. We haven't had a chance to vote for him since his stroke and ideology change.
Susan Collins is a registered Republican.
Yeah I was wondering about that. For reference, here's the demon's bio
A favorite of mine
My favorite thing about the diagram is the layout. The liberals are on the right and the leftists are neither right or left.
You Leftists sure are a contentious people.
YOU SIR HAVE JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE
Yeah this has definitely happened to me a few times
Lemmy has proven to me that tankies have more in common with right wingers than liberals.
Tankies are the ideological opposite but intellectual equivalent of libertarians, and it says a lot about society that anyone subscribes to either after high school.
USA libertarians, correct? Because I constitute as libertarian in not wanting many if any rulers above the common people. Just that I'm also left and don't have a weird fascination with changing age of consent laws like right wing libertarians do.
Early twentieth century anarchists often described themselves as libertarians. If that's what you mean, we can work together.
US libertarians believe in a state that enforces private property laws but does nothing for the general welfare, basically gangsterism.
That's what I mean, not the commonly viewed now Libertarian party in the USA. Freedoms and the only thing government should do is ensure those freedoms from bad actors until we no longer need such.
Yeah that's the thing about authoritarians; they don't have a problem with the boot, they just want it to be on the other foot. No better.
A conservative democrat is a democrat in name only.
Most democrats, especially the leadership, are conservative. The few who aren't are outliers.
The Democrat party is both conservative and right wing, and it continuously shifts further in those directions as a result of being the only party to give concessions to other side as a method of "meeting in the middle". This also allows the ultra far right party to keep shifting further and further right because in order to have controlled opposition there must be some small differences.
