    Like Diacanu said, it's because you continually blanket label anyone left of that line as being one cough away from taking a hammer and sickle to the bourgeoisie.

    Don't know how I missed this, but ...

    I've been saying for years that we are all much more in agreement than the media and the politicians would like us to believe. When we all figure out that each other is not the enemy (and yes, I'm looking at you Lanz) then our current crop of politicians will fail. But, as long as we keep arguing with each other, nothing is going to change in Washington.

    That’s because a lot of the rhetoric around here makes it seem that way.

    I was about half way through the test when it occurred to me I should take screenshots of the questions and my answers. But, just because you assign attributes to labels doesn’t mean I didn’t answer the questions honestly. It just means the attributes you assign to “libertarian” is not the same as the person who assigned those labels on the test.

    And, don’t even try to act as if you don’t twitch every time someone tries to label you even if the label is complimentary.

    I'm thinking it's the difference between Libertarians and libertarians. The former are fiscally conservative, but socially liberal if I'm not mistaken.

    That’s not correct, either. Because there was a Libertarian candidate running in my area in 2016 or 2018. A friend from high school (I didn’t grow up here) is a big Libertarian and insisted I check out this candidate. I did. I asked him about about what it was he wanted to accomplish and where he stood on certain issues. He responded with the same old political bullshit - something to the affect that it depends on how and why and such. I immediately discounted him. Libertarians are still politicians and they will vote to increase taxes for whatever political gain it gives them. They are no different from Democrats or Republicans.

    I’ll agree with that.

    Democrats are supposed to be “for the people” but not all are.

    Republicans … God only knows what they’re supposed to be.

    That makes as much sense to me as Republican, so … ok.

    Republicans are also supposed to be fiscally conservative, but the Trump presidency erased all doubt on that bullshit.

    So you asked a candidate a question and because he suggested that it depends on circumstances and gave you a more nuanced answer other than the one you wanted to hear, you dismissed them right out of hand. Congratulations, you're a partisan hack and part of the problem.

    I don't think you're a far right shill. I think you're well meaning but can fall for the softer dogwhistles and that opens you up to being as much of a useful idiot as I used to be for the alt-right jackals on this board. :clyde:

    Wait, wasn’t it just yesterday that @Jenee was accusing me of not having any original thoughts, yet she uses the same washed up “joke” that’s been used since I first came here and guess what, she didn’t make it up.:morons:

    Kids, come on. All this is based on a seriously questionable internet quiz. It’s probably about as accurate as a magic 8 ball. :lol:
