Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

You know, not all Leftists think like that.

The definition of Leftist is anyone who holds left-wing political views. This refers to a wide variety of people, from moderates to radicals, a whole half of the political spectrum. Two entire quadrants of the political compass, in fact. Are there some Leftists who do think like that? Of course. Do all of them think like that? No, of course not.

Just as the existence of alt-rightists doesn't make the entirety of the right half of the political spectrum fascist, the presence of alt-left doesn't make the entirety of Leftists communists for example.

"The flaws and failures of the people trying to live up to the promise does not change the promise itself. In fact, it is those very failures to live up to the promise to which people can point and say "we're supposed to be better than this!" It is what inspires people to fight for the promise, rather than settling for less."

Exactly! This is what America is all about, and it's a huge reason why I'm proud to be American.

Well said!

I’m still waiting for you to create or repost a political compass that roughly describes your idiosyncratic definition of the “Left”

Until you do, I’m just going to keep placing you somewhere out here

You believe Mitt Romney is a “Leftist” after all.

Are traffic laws “Leftist”?

Off-topic, but since you asked:

I dunno man. You’ll have to ask her, I’m not in charge of her social schedule.

I answered your question.

Now

Are traffic laws “Leftist”?

If they applied to certain drivers more than others, yes.

I guess the world will just have to wait on a fuller explication of Timber1972’s original philosophy

Who the hell made this idiotic, out of touch with reality chart? Reagan and Trump more authoritarian than the Socialist Bernie? Show me the millions Trump has killed to be more authoritarian than Lenin.

Haha

This is the great thing about political compasses: they tell you as much or more about the political views of the person posting them as about reality, which is exactly why I keep asking Timber to post his

I find the one I posted to be one of the more accurate ones I’ve ever seen — I have my own quibbles with it too, but it’s decent

Feel free to plot or repost your own

Take a stand

Anhh....promises but rarely delivers, regardless of race, etc.

Put your feathers, down. I'm not saying there's any place better, and I'm not siding with BLM. I'm just saying that there are limits and while there are promises of opportunity, those opportunities don't pay out as often as they promise. It's a lot like buying a lottery ticket. Sure, you have the opportunity... but don't quit your job.

Look around you...you will see endless examples of the fulfillment of that promise.

One of the biggest...?

Where is the nobility?
