RIGHT

I don't really feel comfortable this far right. I need to rethink my life.
 
In all seriousness I would personally call myself left of @Lexicus but I have no idea how he’d react to that

I must admit that supporting
medicare for all
abortion rights
gay rights
stricter gun control
and there's only two people right of me shows just how left this place is.

Unless I'm very much mistaken I believe there are a number of people leftward of you on the list who do not support one or more of those items :dunno:
 
Well this was an exercise in perception so I wasn't totally sure what to expect. Figured I'd be a "bit" closer to center.

If we all made individual lists with the same names on them I doubt any of them would be identical.

If it's an exercise in perception, then saying "look how left this forum is, I believe in x y and z and I'm so close to the right edge of the list" doesn't mean anything because there's no consistent relationship between someone's position on the list and their political positions.

The devil is in the details. For example two people could both be for stricter gun control but one is for banning all guns and the other is for banning assault rifles only.

And for what it is worth, there are at least 5-6 other semi-regulars who haven't posted in this thread yet that I would put on the right of you which would balance it out a bit.

Of course none of it means anything. But that doesn't change that this place is pretty far left. ;)

Very much of the left is just common sense :)
 
Only to those on the left ;)

You mention Medicare
National health care is what is seen in my country as "welbegrepen eigenbelang" if I google translate that google says: "enlightened self-interest" (a bit in line with Adam Smith)
That's quite a cultural gap with "fully understood self-interest" which is in the case of national health service just the most pragmatical solution to get max economical benefits for money.
Buying a new machine, do that and all investments around it, and then neglect first, second, third's echelons maintenance on it. Huh ?
There is imo intrinsically not a shred of leftish attached to a national health care. It's just common sense.
 
Are you implying that we should consider people something bought? I don't think that comparison holds here.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that medicare for all is common sense, but then I'm left on that issue.
Many on the right do not consider it so.
 
Maybe just restrict this thread to 'murcans so at least apples can be compared to other apples.
 
What fun would that be?
 
Just saying it's a bit hard to rate myself against 'murcans using metrics like (for example) socialised medicine and gun control, given the completely different state of those things between countries.
