“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”
That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.
It’s this dumbass forum of 14 year olds called /politicalcompass where a bunch of high schoolers with no life experience try to discuss complex issues through the lens of a four-sided charicature of political ideologies that they call the political compass. It’s total horseshit and the meme has been coopted by actual fascists.
I actually found one source (might have been the same place), and it “analyzes” Biden and Trump from 2020 based on their past policy stances and public statements; it shows Biden and Trump practically overlapping. This is based on some 62 questions they ask community members.
If someone honestly thinks that’s a reasonable analysis of past and especially current stances, I weep for the state of skepticism and rational thought.
As a sidenote, if we look at the polling data the way it should be seen, it’s interesting that those people are so far left that they feel like Biden and Trump are overlapping.
That sounds pretty ridiculous. Obviously the list of 62 questions was rigged to get that result. I would have asked questions such as “must a candidate win the election legitimately in order to enter a term of office?” And obviously supporters of each candidate would have a different answer to that one.
E: Add to that, thousands of daily government functions go on without any controversy. Like departments of weights and measures. There’s no controversy about paying for 10 gallons of gas and getting 10 gallons of gas. Nobody complains that airplanes aren’t falling out of the sky left and right. Perhaps that’s how the questions trended. You know, like the Senate has a dragout on Supreme Court confirmations but confirms sometimes a dozen appointments in a single day, abassadors plenopentiary and district judges, etc.
