I've noticed that many non theist folks tend to have left leaning political beliefs. So I'm just curious what you lean towards.
Social Dems..always
Same here. Bernie is my hero. Plus, Larry David does a fantastic impression of him.
@PinkPassion
I been following since he was elected Mayor of Burlington Vermont..love that man!
I've voted for more than one, depending upon which seems to have the best approach to the pertinent issues at the time. I would never align myself permanently with a party.
@briangs However, that 'person' running with that party, will never be able to stand-out, of the herd! He will merge, with the majority over time! (Think about mob mentality.) Look at Trump, he was once a Democrat and SHOULD have some carryover, from his earlier life?! He is even confused!!!
@briangs One Goebbels study want make a majority premise! And I wonder where YOU are here! Are you saying Goebbel's expresses your position on THE matter, too? I am a little confused!?
@briangs I must admit that I felt you had some secret insight, that I am not privy, too?
@briangs please may I ask...since this was not a discussion on Goebbels, why did you abdicate your power (of thought) to Goebbels? You are using 'Goebbels' complete quote to support your position! Can"t you stand behind YOUR argument?
@briangs ...'stand behind your argument,' with your own words?
@briangs AND...I see that you disespect people with EASE...that is scary!!
@briangs ...your message is not meant as an exchange. You simply pushed me into a corner. If you are satisfied with that, nothing else that I might say, would help here.
@Freedompath Who is @briangs you keep atting?
@BlueWave check his bio, for particulars...I am just responding to his responses...
@Freedompath I did that before I asked you who it is. I'm wondering if it is an invisible person to only me. When I click on @briangs, it says the person does not exist. It's a tad confusing.
@BlueWave ...well, he must have taken himself out of the running...that's a shame, because he may have on the verge of a 'break through!'
I can confirm that there was a briangs, and that he did mention Jo Goebbels. I'm not sure why freedompath refers to it as a Goebbels study though...
I myself have very Libertarian leanings, almost to the point I could be considered an Anarchist.
I lean towards making ordinary peoples' lives better - which, I guess, means somewhat 'left of centre' (or, as US Republicans would say, a HOWLING COMMUNIST).
However I have found no pollitical party that is active and meaningfully strong which does not pander to the wealthy and corporate business more than I would like to myself ... so I don't really associate with a party.
Green Party [greenparty.org]
I can't say that I lean left, anymore. I can say... with all that is in me and all that I stand for...it is not the GOP...Republican! Since we only have 2 choices, I stand with the left...Democrat! But, it bothers me that their 'stand' is 'wobbly!' I realize, that the 'left' has never been...'screaming,' 'over-talking,' fools, but sometimes, they need to 'speak-up' for what is humane and 'right!' and FAIR!
@Marcus_Angelus I must have missed something here in my "old age'...I have seldom heard a reasoning person refer to Democrats as 'communism'! What dictionary did you use, maybe I will look it up in the kind you used and see where I went off the cliff...
I waiver between Secular Party and Sustainable AustraliaParty which is about sustainable population. Both put science first.
There was a guy, who legally changed his name to "Zero Population Growth". This was back in the mid-90s. I worked in the public service and he corresponded with our office very regularly. I worked in the mail room and constantly mailed envelopes addressed to "Mr. Zero Population Growth".
Have you heard of him? If so, do you know if he ever became a proper political personality.
I am a liberal libertarian of no party, tho I vote Democratic 99.9 % of the time. I want government out of my personal life. My bedroom, my uterus, my drug choices, my life's duration, religious recognition. I do want government oversight of the air I breathe, the water I drink, the insulation in my house, the impact on the environment, protection of species, the taxing of religious orders especially Scientology, pay parity.
I am a loose canon, I vote for the one I judge to be the most capable one to solve our problems in the way I think they should be solved and then keep an eye on them like a hawk because I think they are all a bunch of power hungry egomaniacs that will stab you in the back at the first chance they get
I'm a registered Democrat, but that's only so I can vote in primaries in NY for the rare chance that a Democrat candidate has the same values as I do like one did in the 2016 election. I would say I'm Independent and/or Green and/or Social Democrat. Our political system is a joke though. Money talks. The politicians who actually give a shit are the ones who get smeared or discounted as not having a real chance to win. That whole "voting 3rd party ruins the vote" thing is a fallacy. 2000 was shown to be a fallacy in that respect. It's the same thing every election. I don't owe my damn vote to anyone or party. Get over it!
