I'm not sure what you're arguing here Totes. I don't think anyone here is against taxation for social goods.

US "leftists", specially Biden supporters are not really leftists. They can even be *gasps* centrists.

That's a standard Democrat stance. I fully agree. Let companies grow, let people get rich, and tax them to support social nets.

Are you saying the democratic party taxing structure is bad?

Not necessarily bad, but right wing. Healthcare is just too much of a shock to me to call "good". But definetly on the right side of things and within the acceptable spectrum.

I literally never said nor implied taxes are right wing. Your post illustrates how inane it would be to even think that's the point.

I'm saying supporting the US' Democratic Party's taxing structure is right wing.

Let capitalism happen, regulate it to avoid abuse & disaster, and tax without killing it to finance a strong government and social programs.

Why do you keep trying to engage? I tried talking about taxes, the backbone of fiscal politics, and you threw a fit.

You are a walking taking example of what I just said and that pisses you off. It's fine, you are on the right side, but you do believe in right wing ideals too, and that's ok.

???

What are you trying to argue?

That US "leftists" are so detached from the economical aspect (because there is so little variation within the US two party system) they don't even realize their fiscal structure is right-wing.

Which is fine because a center-right fiscal structure is what you want for a country to work, and those resources must be used to finance social programs (the "left" portion).

What I think is irrelevant.

Centrism is a political outlook or position involving acceptance or support of a balance of social equality and a degree of social hierarchy while opposing political changes that would result in a significant shift of society strongly to the left or the right.

In short: you need money to pay for social rights.

In terms of economics Biden is definitely on the right. The US sort of rolls everything else into right/left even though those really only apply to economics. So Biden isn't socially conservative, but he is right-wing economically. In Eastern Europe there are actually a lot of far left socially conservative parties. I think a lot of US people struggle understanding that not everything maps on to their own political situation.

It's amazing really. And hardcore Democrats get really defensive and hurt when you point out they defend a fiscally liberal party.

I hear this sometimes but where is the proof? Look at Latin America, look at Africa, look at Asia, look at Central and Eastern Europe. A lot of conservatism and right wing leadership. It is mainly vs Western and Northern Europe that the US looks skewed. And even Western Europe is showing cracks.

It's crazy that this is a serious post.

Current leadership =/= Representation

You have no representation whatsoever about someone who is serious about public healthcare, and you think that's normal.

Of course you don't like centrists if your entire representation is extremely skewed to the right.

Nearly everywhere in the world a centrist is to the left of the US democratic party, not to the right.

Two of the universally agreed to be the worst expansions...

BFA: Zandalar and Kul'Tiras were amazing. It kept going downhill patch after patch, but launch was pretty spot on.

Shadowlands: Ardenweald is great, truly a cool zone to "tie in" Druid/Hunter/Nature in general afterlives, the only realm of death that seemed to actually land IMO. Bastion was ok, save for the whole stupid "wipe your memories" nonsense. Skeleton warriors and vampire zones were absolute goofy ass though, as was the Jailer and everything else that came after.

But I do enjoy the little good that came of these two expansions. I love Ardenweald, Zul'Dazar, Drustvar, Boralus & Stormsong Valley.

The One Ring amplifies whatever you are and what your strengths are.

Hobbits are small, quiet, and want to live peaceful lives. That's why they turn invisible. Sauron didn't, and none of the non-Hobbits would, except maybe elves (but would probably gain addittional abilities like agility).
