    i dont toe either party line. Just because im more centrist than your self professed "democratic socialist" that doesnt make me a republican.
    You identified with the topic. A lot of people say they aren't republicans when they are 100%.

    Until people stop giving a about the latest 'victim" of whatever micro transgression to find fashion, the spiral will continue. Virtue signaling among the social media crowd has created a system where finding flaws in other people and amplifying them ad nauseum is interesting. The entire country above the middle class line has become a real life version of Housewives. It's a bickering contest where everyone on the show has a bone to pick and if they don't, they'll dig and poke until they find one.

    This is what happens when paid law firms and hired contractors do nothing but dig for dirt on people, when incentives are offered for telling anything about anyone.

    Everyone's information is out there, all someone has to do is rise to the level where anyone gives a to read about you, then you're ed as soon as you have an opinion that affects someone else's bottom line.

    Some of this is due to the concept of being paid for views or clicks. Any story that generates clicks now generates money. The more you can sling out there on anyone, the more money you'll make. So the wealthy are eating each other. When it all settles down, they'll all still be the wealthy, with some rehab, and they'll toast over dinner about how cool these days were, when Harvey across the table, sitting next to Bill Cosby, was the talk of the town.

    I'd hardly consider pedophilia a micro transgression.

    1. Economy. (Focus on the individual achieving and actually contributing to the economy)
    ( Focus on job creation by businesses, large and small allowing individuals to contribute; really trickle down but dont embrace the phrase)

    2. Role of government (don't fiddle with the economy thru taxes etc... ; keep strong defense; keep immigration to a minimum; keep law and order capable of performing their duty; 2nd amendment broad interpretation; keep job creation to the private sector)

    3. Education (Privatize)

    4. Health Care. (Too much spending due to all parties involved; individuals taking advantage emphasis; make it private as much as possible and costs will go down)

    5. Abortion (end it)

    6. Foreign affairs. ( very contentious at this time; strong defense but much debate on isolationist at ude )

    Lots more

    ex....stricter interpretation of cons ution; emphasis on individual responsibility in all aspects of life

    Of course one will find much less enthusiasm on some parts compared to others depending on your taste.

    Democrats next?
    You need to ask because you don't know OP.
    And no I would not consider myself a Republican.

    And some people suddenly start coming down here looking for a pat on the back and when they can't get it, they fall in with Avante.

    1. Economy: Private business is the key to the economy. For that to prosper there has to be incentive to stay in this country. Otherwise Americans get nothing from the business while the business owner gets everything from America, because it's legal.

    2. Role of government: Provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blah blah blah. The role of government isn't to guarantee our success whether or not we want it. We should still be able to fail if we don't work to succeed. That goes for big car companies, banks, and people who spend their entire lives mooching off the assistance programs.

    3. Education More money to public schools. Private schools are ok, but should not be publicly funded.

    4. Health Care. Depends on which group of people you're referring to. Young people don't want to pay anything because they don't use it. That's ok. If you passed on it for 10 years as a young adult, you should not get full benefits as soon as you enroll when you have a medical issue. You should have to become vested. If a young adult enrolls right away, they can be vested right away. I don't care for forcing anyone to enroll however.

    5. Abortion: I am against abortion but it's not my body. It's a hard call, but not mine to make. It should be legal but counseling should be offered. Making it illegal just makes it dangerous but still will happen.

    6. Foreign affairs: If they aren't our affairs we need to stay out of it. I'm ok with foreign relations but not foreign meddling. I don't fully understand the ramifications of changing the status quo, however from a layman's perspective we need to right our ship before we start pulling another one.

    7: Gun control: I am ok with background checks prior to buying a gun. I am ok with the waiting period. I am ok with the NFA laws. I'll roll with whatever congress cranks out regarding firearms. I believe the 2nd Amendment means what it says, however I am not married to the gun culture even though I own several. I wouldn't hold my vote back based on fear of gun control.

    not anything other than i suppose a libertarian of sorts but here goes nothing.

    1. don't care about gun control past its current inception/laws.
    2. abortion. don't care.
    3. the 1% and break up all monopolies!
    4. the 1% and make these hacks stop offshore money holes and tax havens.
    5. mental health care. better more caring doctors who have to hear you out before prescribing medication.
    6. big pharma needs to be overhauled!
    7. no more bs chemicals in our food. monsanto and the like!
    8. self driving cars.
    9. anonymity on the internet. this isn't because yall troll me but i think if you are going to act tough online then the person you obviously aren't scared of should know who you are without a guess.
    10. regulate all social media platforms.
    11. this path to robotic takeover. it's getting ridiculous how much our world wants to become lazy s and that's why we're almost at the verge of Idiocracy levels.
    12. stop selling off our tech, our innovations, etc. china and the like.
    13. no more stupid ing micro aggression bs, safe spaces, etc. the lunacy that has taken over this country and the world alike.

    there's plenty more i think of but whatever.

    So then if a child is molested, let's say a 5 year old, it should be equated to statutory rape?

    I mean, I don't want to go against pixelated boat or anything.

    What's 100%? Maybe we can all fill out a ST questionnaire to see how many here are 100%

    You have some criteria?

    Look at you having a hard time coming to terms with your niche, DMC.

    is not pedophilia if you a willing 14 year old

    DMC out here arguing for pedophilia in two different threads. Not suspect at all.

    Do you use the word "liberal"?

    End questionnaire.

    Yes I do. But here's a questionnaire for you. Do you know anyone who doesn't use the word liberal? Fun little tidbit, you can Google any one from the polar opposite of the conservative spectrum and they use that word. Shaun king liberal. This is one of the first hits.


    heat for James Hodgkinson, he is almost instantly being called a liberal radical,” Mr. King said.


    Try it with anyone.
