Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Sat Aug 24 20:44:54 2019, in response to Re: AOC plays the race card, posted by Spider-Pig on Sat Aug 24 19:59:32 2019. Moderate is a matter of policy. It so happens that I find less of Trump's policies distasteful than I do the current democrat contenders' policies, and I find a lot of the TDS inspired rhetoric to be pointless distraction.According to Facebook's automatic profiling of me for ad targeting, I'm "US Politics: Very Liberal" (lol). According to NY Times' useless profiler, I'm a democrat voter. But here are my stances on a variety of topics, you can't really put me in either the Conservative or Liberal camp: 1. pro-universal healthcare (done properly - stop making it more expensive plz) 2. pro-1st, 2nd and 4th amendments to the fullest extent 3. anti-taxes and anti-spending on the federal level (shift as much to the states as possible) 4. pro-life with exceptions 5. pro-border security (as long as it's not a damn wall) - this was a Democrat position as well until TDS 6. pro-immigration reform (make it easier for people to get here legally) - this is anti-corporatist, neither side wants to give up their indentured servitude visas for something better, and an easier migration path for all who apply would make them pointless 7. pro-legalization of drugs (prohibition is an expensive boondoggle that props up criminal enterprise) 8. anti-war and foreign intervention (expensive, let's give someone else a turn at being world police) 9. anti-death penalty with exceptions (maybe if someone's proven to have done it beyond all doubt, not just reasonable) 10. pro-Israel 11. pro-free speech (this is beyond 1st Amendment as I believe it should apply to private companies that have become online versions of the public square - as it stands now oil companies could pool their money, hostile takeover something like twitter or facebook, and ban any discussion of climate change because it's bad for business) 12. pro-federal EPA (something that puts me at odds with big-L Libertarians) 13. pro-gay marriage, against all laws banning homosexual activity (many are still on the books) 14. pro-minimum wage per state, anti-federal minimum wage. NYC's should probably be higher than $15 but forcing $15/hr on Puerto Rico is going to wreck their economy even more. The $7.25/hr one wrecked American Samoa's economy. One size does not fit all here. 15. pro-student loan repayment assistance (immediately reduce interest to 0, or make it possible to discharge the debt via bankruptcy). 16. anti-"woke" politics. Sorry, but I will use gendered language, there are only two sexes, reparations shouldn't happen, and illegally crossing the US border should be punished with deportaion. |
