Since it seems all we can do is bicker about politics, fine, I'll jump in for this: Take this quiz. You can expand each section if you want to drill down and get deeper into it, you can adjust each question's weighting as to how important it is to you, and in the end, removing the personalities, the "Gotcha!" news cycle, the identity politics, whatever, it shows which parties and candidates, down to your local level, align closest with what's important to you: https://www.isidewith.com/political-quiz |

78% Socialist
63% Libertarian
55% Republican

I can’t hardly believe how many people fell for the fake news and lies/propaganda propping up Joe Biden and Tearing Down Donald Trump.
I don’t particularly like Trump on a personal level. And I certainly wish he would say less stuff. However, just looking at records, accomplishments and current state of mind it’s just silly to think a career politician who basically accomplished nothing in 47 years and is historically a staunch racist will at his age when he has trouble completing sentences and remembering where he is or what he’s doing suddenly change and out perform President Trumps accomplishments over the last three years.
To vote for Biden Harris solely because you Hate Donald Trump so bad is like eating a dog turd because you don’t like broccoli.
It also proves you believe fake news.
If you look at the total picture this isn’t even a choice. You are voting for America and freedom vs a socialist agenda being pushed by the same people that are right now propping up a sad senile old man as their puppet.

I had never heard of the Transhumanist party either but from what I've read this morning, I could easily get on board. It's basically peace, responsible technology (strict laws regarding nanotech and artificial intelligence) and life extension. |

I had never heard of the Transhumanist Party. I had to look them up using Wikipedia. I'm sure they worked very hard to come up with their platform in order to have anyone take them seriously. Not knocking them, I fully admit that everyone has to right to be stupid from time to time. Been there, done that myself. Rams Platform A core tenet of the USTP platform is that more funding is needed for research into human life extension research and research to reduce existential risk. More generally, the goal is to raise awareness among the general public about how technologies can enhance the human species.[18][48] Democratic transhumanists and libertarian transhumanists tend to be in disagreement over the role of government in society, but both agree that laws should not encumber technological human progress.[49] The Transhumanist Party platform promotes national and global prosperity by sharing technologies and creating enterprises to lift people and nations out of poverty, war, and injustice.[50][51] The Transhumanist Party also supports LGBT rights, drug legalization, and sex work legalization. The party seeks to fully subsidize university-level education while also working to "create a cultural mindset in America that embracing and producing radical technology and science is in the best interest of our nation and species."[4][52] In terms of foreign policy and national defense, the party wants to reduce the amount of money spent on foreign wars and use the money domestically.[3] The party also advocates managing and preparing for existential risks, completely eliminating dangerous diseases, and proactively guarding against abuses of technology, such as nanotechnology, synthetic viruses, and artificial intelligence.[3][4] The various policy points of the US Transhumanist Party's platform have attracted both praise and criticism from sociologist Steve Fuller. For example, Fuller has praised the centrality of morphological freedom in the US Transhumanist Party's bill of rights,[53] but on the other hand he has also written that the party is too critical of the US Department of Defense, which he argues could be an ally for some transhumanist initiatives such as human enhancement and existential risk reduction.[54] In 2018 the party as a whole was reviewed favorably as an example of a successful "niche" party by Krisztian Szabados, a director at the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University.[55] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transhumanist_Party |

A great explanation of identity politics and how its taught, even to kids. I was wrong about the Democratic Party #walkaway https://youtu.be/flp7gKg5G4E1) I did not jump from blind loyalty to democrats to blind loyalty to republicans. i simply came to the realization that i am not represented by leftism (which has overtaken the dem party), and I align better with conservatism. Typically that means i prefer the republican candidate, but i have no strong party loyalty. as many of you mentioned there is plenty wrong with the GOP as well. I purposefully did not include a ringing endorsement of the GOP for that reason. |
