Flaky answer aside step 1 is to get our priorities checked and not spend such an unnecessary amount on stuff like military sticking our noses in ordeals that we don't belong
why would a millionaire / billionaire move out of a country where they're making most of their assets because of taxes that will barely effect their income
can someone explain to me how bernie expects to pay for everything he promises? (hint: taxing the rich won't work because they will just move to another country if theyre gonna get taxfucked)
Probably as a way to dissociate themselves from the party system in order to appear more centrist, especially as both of the party systems grow more and more apart in the left-right political spectrum.
haha jokes on you. in many primaries, if you are not registered with the party, you cannot vote in the primaries. In the 2016 New York Democratic primary, many who wanted to vote for Bernie Sanders were unable to do so as they were not registered democrats
I have a question for the Amerikans as well. Kanadian here.
On CNN or Fox, you will have a person who is clearly positioned somewhere on the left and advocating for liberal policies that more or less align with the democratic party. And then someone will call that person a democrat (not in an accusatory fashion) and they will respond with, "Hey, I am not a democrat," as if they have no party loyalty and could see themselves voting for a republican.
And then on the same program, you will have a person who is clearly positioned somewhere on the right and advocating for conservative policies that more or less align with the republican party. And then someone will call that person a republican, and they will respond with, "Hey, I am not a republican," as if they have no party loyalty and could see themselves voting for a democrat.
Now, I understand the potential and real problems with having a two-party system (as well as thinking in those terms), and I understand that there are centrists as well as people who are simply undecided. But why do people who SEEM partisan become slippery when they are labeled as such? For example, I saw Don Lemon on CNN the other day deny that he was a democrat (when I cannot imagine him voting republican in this life or the next). What do you think he meant by this?Does this have something to do with being or not being a REGISTERED democrat/republican? Is it about optics?
If I were Amerikan, I would definitely vote republican (conservative) most of the time. I don't think I would REGISTER as such, but this is how I would vote. But if someone were to call me a republican in passing, I would likely know what they meant and I wouldn't be tempted to avoid the label. I guess I am just confused because we don't have names like "democrat" or "republican" in Kanada. Perhaps this is a silly inquiry but maybe someone can shed some light.
What views do you like from each party? Often when I see people claim to be centrist it just means "republican but without the ugly stuff," or "republican with legal weed and gay marriage."
*centrist voice* i mean, i dont get why everyone cant get along. yeah, nazis are bad, but have you seen antifa? they're both evil. i think that people who advocate for genocide are the same as people who are anti fascism :/ i think i'm not going to vote as a symbol of my protest against these radical candidates
