Biden 2020

Yeah, that compass stuff can be confusing. It's important not to think of it linearly left-right, because it's more like a graph: left(communism)-right(neo-liberalism) horizontally and authoritarian-libertarian vertically. To find where you lie on this graph a handy tool is this test: https://www.politicalcompass.org/test

It isn't 100% accurate and is a little outdated, but it definitely gets pretty darn close.
To cover what El Draque said, here is where some well known people lie on the graph:
When I took the test, here is where I am:


Of course this is just an idea. Another cool test that helps figure out where you stand politically: https://www.isidewith.com/elections/202 ... ntial-quiz

This actually tells you how much you agree with each candidate which was pretty darn helpful to me when deciding who I agreed with. It surprised me that I agreed 97% with Julian Castro who I had never payed attention to before. After that I started listening more closely to what he said and I started to realize that I liked him. Of course the DNC had to come shove their big moderate ass in the middle of things and nominate Creepy Uncle Joe. I guess now it's between picking the worse of two evils. There is always the 3rd party candidates but I learned from the 2016 election that they often can't be trusted. I think America is almost definitely screwed either way. I just hope Joe picks a good VP

yeah i didnt want to answer the first set of loaded questions but i did, and the second set is even more loaded so i quit.

[Mack]

oh okay, I got a bit confused

[Leo]

Mack, I think the test was made before BLM was founded. Also, what questions were "BLM centered"?

Biden / Harris lol

Pretty much sums up the democratic party.
2 people that will say anthing to get elected with no intent of backing any of it with effective action.

Both claim to support the anti racist narrative,

Biden spent years supporting segregationist laws
Then years pushing biased crimial justice laws that target urban type crimes. This is the systemic racist system everones complsining about .... he built it.

Harris, has a long record of doing anything neccescary to advance her political carreer. NO POLITE COMMENTS AVAILABLE HERE.

Record wise.

Historically sided with police incidents.
Including ones that were deemed acts of racisim.

Has a long record of over reaching with the powers afforded by the systemically baised criminal justice system, to lock people up and to keep them locked up.

They have scrubbed most of her history but if you Dig a bit and its still there.


Lol actually biden and harris were calling each other out over these very things during the primaries.

Lol. If they truely supported the people they claim to support they should toss biden for his mental slips and toss harris for being excessively 2 faced and run Karen Bass. Who I think should have been the VP choice.

I would not vote for her, because she is far to socislist for my tastes.
But i think she really embodies what the party preaches rather than what they actually do

[The Lamb]

discrimination: treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit

I dont know why the left always has to practice politics based on identity. It's all a practice in discrimination. Can you imagine if a conservative, libertarian or independent stated the sex and race of the pick they were looking for the second highest position in the land? If i were Black or a woman, i would actually be upset that he is trying to pander to get votes. There are so many other people far more qualified for the position.

Also, I think Harris is the nail in Bidens Presidential coffin. Voters know that if Biden got elected and couldn't finish his term Harris would be president. LMFAO! And she is cutthroat she would be the one to say he is unfit for office, and before you say dems would never do that, they just tried to do that to Trump. Luckily he has his grey matter together. Uncle Joe would be toast.

Yeah, the fact that Biden and many democrats felt that his pick should be a woman of color was just sad and stupid in my opinion. Whoever is the best pick for a job should get the job, not whoever meets some stupid condition that has no impact on their skill. If I wanted to hire a worker, I see no reason why I would want to prioritize one skin color over another, same with sex-aside from a few exceptions.

The fact that he prioritized a woman of color just screams pandering to me. Not to mention I feel like you would have to be rather shameless to accept that offer when given. If I was Harris I would have publicly refused, and told him and the public that if one of the main reasons they wanted me as his VP was because I was a woman and black, then I had no interest in working with such vile people who valued me more for my sex and skin color and heritage, then for my skills and ability.

I see quite a lot of mentions about how she's the first black and Asian American woman to be on a major party ticket, and honestly, I would be a lot more impressed if I didn't know beforehand that Biden was being pressured to pick a woman of color. It's like being picked first for a sports team, but only because one of the team captains was told to be nice to you. It becomes less meaningful, because you didn't really earn it.
