I would argue that Alicia Fox even in her tragically limited role was better and Kaitlyn as well. Kharma as well, though I guess you might not count her.

Though I would take literally anyone from the Knockouts roster at the time (Gail Kim, Mickie, Tara, ODB, Taryn Tarrell, Madison Rayne, Angelina Love at the very least) over the whole lot of them. Velvet Sky and Brooke Tessmacher were probably worse than Paige and Nikki, but still better than AJ.

There's a lot of "wow" news in these indictments.

Guys you know many Republicans are real people with real reasons for voting in the way they do, right?

This kind of talk isn't any different to me than the kind of dialogue trying to turn all liberals into Antifa boogeymen which you are calling out Red Sox for.


Sure and let them actually come out and say those reasons instead of this bullshit "my feelings were hurt" line redsox likes to peddle.

SephG comes out and admits its rational self interest because he has a large income. I accept that even if I think some of the things he is willing to accept at the altar of a better marginal tax rate are downright abhorrent.

You're proooobably thinking of this series of committee hearings

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbi-investigating-1000-white-supremacist-domestic-terrorism-cases/

Which prompted some left wing backlash like this:

https://www.theroot.com/fbi-to-senate-were-investigating-1-000-white-supremaci-1818878694

Basically, the FBI still definitely investigates white supremacists as domestic terrorists but Wray said there's no crime called "domestic terrorism" which makes it hard to quantify which caused others on twitter mostly to make the conclusion you just shared

You can easily shift the average to the left on one of these through question selection. Like I mentioned before, having a bunch of questions like do you consider your race to be superior to others is designed to do this. You could also do the reverse and push people to the right by including stuff like people should not be allowed to own property.


Mm. That's a good point.

My main issue is where they are placing the actual candidates, because they don't match up at all. Their questions aren't always great like you point out, and seem to be forcing people to the left with a series of layup questions.

This isn't a layup left question. Some people do believe this.

There are questions EDDV referenced earlier as layups to the left as had to be answered in disagreement that I agreed or strongly agreed on for instance.


You Agreed or Strongly Agreed that Private Charity should provide what the government currentlt provides as social safety net?

1) 3 of those people lost, one of them didnt even really run for president and one of those people isnt actually expected to win the presidency

2) Because we just keep on fucking relitigating it.

Its not "he lost but we are regrouping and plan to try again after refining our message". That is basically just politics 101.

Its this "he didn't really lose because we, the obviously correct and more popular socialists, were robbed" narrative that I find disgusting.

Its the exact same line of shit being peddled by the alt right, its just different to you because you agree with socialism.

Eddv and Regaro are both conservatives

Man, am I just super surprised Eddv was to the left in the quiz and not the conservative proclaimed here.


With Eddv, I think it's a lot like what happened with me. He was a lot more centrist and moderate, but the past two years have kinda informed us that modern conservatism (at least what is mistakenly referred to as conservatism and no reactionary extremism) is actually kinda dangerous to the modern world, and maybe we can afford to move more towards the left.


Sure theres some of that.

Theres also some like "all social programs should be abolished in favor of charity" questions that are SO LOADED.

Or like on healthcare they merely present like Single Payer or Nothing.

There were a lot of abstentions for me on those questions where the ability to answer more moderately would have likely dragged me slightly rightward on axis 1.

Axis 2 looks spot on to me

Axis 3 is a weird one because I felt the need to more strongly assert a right to the free press now vs what I answered the last time I took the test in 2015 but its honestly pretty close.

Other than a strongly pro science bent I come out looking fairly moderate here, which is pretty much how I see myself and have always presented myself - as a conservative democrat who would vote for a Romney or McCain if they ran against a Sanders type.

Moderate vs Moderate I tend to go Democrat due to Republican hostility towards science is all.

Corbyn is more of a eurosceptic than May is. It's not necessarily a left/right issue, although the fact that immigration is such a big part of it means it trends right.

And yes, the government can easily just say "nah" to Brexit, but y'know, WILL OF THE PEOPLE

Can't half-ass it either, though I guess a soft brexit would be the closest thing. But we're kind of either in or out, we can't be in between.

Changing topic a little, I like how whenever Trump does anything that especially gets on my nerves something comes along to distract me from that (Anita Sarkeesian basically confirming herself as a bigoted monster last year and the whole stereotyping Star Wars fans as racist/sexist this year).

And the left wonder why they are such a laughingstock.

according to the multiple alignment polls of the other poli topic I'm the biggest lefty on the board and I don't like Sarkeesian at all and I think the stupid toxic star wars fans are getting a bloated amount of attention than they're worth (see: Remake TLJ) and people are falling for blatant trolls (see: We, The Fans of Star Wars) since the "controversy" is such incredibly easy bait now


Twitter liberals literally dont realize that by accepting the terms of the identity debate the way they do that they literally cast themselves as the minority.

Like the way to combat white supremacy isn't by attacking white supremacy directly - that's hardly going to change peoples minds because if they arent prima facie rejecting it then continuing to contest it on those terms is futile.

The way to combat is just by having a different, better idea that draws them away from it.

Something I find really interesting is how different people interpret the Tradition axis.

To many Americans, tradition encompasses like Norman Rockwell, women in the kitchen, even Jim Crow/Slavery. But I know a bunch of Canadians who took it and to them respecting traditions might have connotations like respecting native culture and such.

FWIW the lame duck session refers to

1) a discreet time period between November and January when a new president/congress has been elected and the new President/Congress is sworn in.

It was historically a bigger deal but they moved inauguration back from March til January

2) the term is sometimes used to refer to a President who still holds office but has no prospect of his party forming a majority in any house of government and usually entails a President being fairly unpopular such that opposing his policy initiatives would be politically priceless for either party (think W in 2007).

Should be noted that this is not the normal usage of the term and any use of the term for purposes other than the first definition is usually as a jab at the politician in question for being ineffectual.
