Solid +7.
-10 = farthest left = diehard Communist, Leninist, Stalinist, ANTIFA Marxist, etc
-7 = Bernie, AOC, Squad types etc
-4 = Schumer, Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Biden, Clintons etc
-1 = Manchin, Sinema, Heitkamp, very center left etc
0 = Dead center
+1 = Romney, Collins, Murkowski, very center right etc
+4 = Bush's, Reagan, McCain, McConnell, Pence, Haley, etc
+7 = MAGA category
+10 = full fledged QAnon, pro-fascist, arguably Hitler supporter, etc
Any number not stated is fine as well....
Where are you?
I'd say I am about a +5 to a +6, tbh.
Biden Obama and Clintons -4? Try +1 at the very least to the right on a number line.
Your assignments ONLY reflect political affiliation, not true political ideas.
Are you fkn insane?
Your number assignments show this was made by a Trump .
I would be a -4. MAGA supporters are closer to +8 or +9.
Then you are really a +1 based on half the examples given.
There is a relativity feature in this number assignment that can be totally wacked depending on the politics of the creator of the number line.
Personally, I'm in favor of public schools and universal healthcare. I think that small businesses should be helped but I think that big corporations and rich people should contribute way more. I'm for a legal immigration and not in favor of rewarding those who cheated to enter. I'm not pro-gun. I'm for gay marriage, woman's right to choose but I don't like the woke and cancel culture.
The bolded removes you from Biden, Clinton and Obama in practice imo.
So you would be in the negative region in a number line made by my relative scale. (which I choose not to put up because these things have gigantic holes in them, again, imo.
You would NOT be Joe Manchin.
I believe that the Scandinavian systems are the best and all the metrics show that: better human development index, low crime, better education and healthcare, decent salaries...
Then on Koriwhat's scale you are a communist.
republicans don't even know what socialism is, let alone communism
Since time immemorial just people who have nothing and want to share it.
I'm sure that peanut of yours can score the weight, an.
America First
So pretty much dead center
Everyone hates leftists. Including leftists.
I'm with you on green
I'm against you on red
While true in theory, the issue is that they are smaller countries with small capita, also a mostly geneous ethnic population... you just can't apply that to the modern U.S.A...
that's where you're just too indoctrinated... climate change, especially human-induced part, is so minor it's microscopic. 2 degrees Celsius over 120 years... . And only a small fraction of that attributed to factories, greenhouse gases etc. Majority attributed to PDO, AMO, ENSO multi-decadal natural cycles.
I'm a +2 on climate change... I do believe in recycling, high-tech industry reducing pollution to almost nil, I drive a hybrid car, etc. I am against deforestation. But I am vehemently against government intrusion on freedoms in order to enforce green policy. And as long as I'm in Texas or a southern state, the AC is going to be on full blast, like it or leave it. If I'm in say Michigan I probably don't use nearly as much heat in winter as most people, I like it cool. But you also need some AC up there in the summer time, especially at night.
Health care for all (US Citizens ONLY) -10, absolutely. maybe -8. The greedy insurance companies and pharma are a huge problem.
Tax the filthy rich, including and especially BIG TECH (which the Left seems to always give a pass because of their donations) is definitely a -8 to -10 for me. If and only if the Apple's, Facebook's, Twitter's, Google's, and Amazon's of the world are included.
Gun reform... nope. +9. Don't in' tread on me.
Abortion.... -9. All the way until the baby is 100% viable, without an incubator, outside the mother's womb.
Gay marriage... -5. I am for any two people to get married but I also believe there needs to be marriage reform (not just gay/lesbian but all marriages) to where people can't reap tax benefits until they have been married at least 3 years, people cannot get green cards by marriage for at least 10 years, and people can't reap marital tax benefits after divorce from their first marriage for at least 7 years, regardless of when they get married again.
+10 with the homeless, deport them if they're illegal, incarcerate them if they're citizens.
+10 with illegal immigration. Deport, no excuses, deport, deport, deport.
+9 on trans athletes choosing their sex in sports, etc. There should be a third category, gender "X"... for anyone who wishes to be anything that is not their gender on their original birth certificate.
-7 on stem cell research
+10 on enforcing IDs / proof of US Citizenship and State / District residency in voting.

tbh... though in america those "lefists" are a handful of names on social media. not really represented in government in a meaningful way.
it sounds bizarre... but if you ever stumble across leftists (ie actual socialists) on social media, its a truly self cannibalizing group. none actually prominent in government, its really an online thing only in the US
The idea that the size of the country matters doesn't hold. It doesn't matter how big a country is to implement public schools, universal healthcare, tax the rich and big corporations, implement, social programs to minimize poverty...The main difficulty for large countries is a unified infrastructure (trains, broadband, energy...) and even that can be treated locally.
We already have public schools and they're a problem. Indoctrination, districts teaching kids to rebel against their parents, definitely a left leaning culture. You're almost a jew in 1942 3rd Reich Germany if you're a Republican teacher. Privatize the school system, if they were all private then tuition would be much lower than private schools of today due to compe ion. Public schools are toxic.
Universal / subsidized healthcare I 100% agree with you on and there is definitely a big sore thumb reason why Americans only live to about 80 on average while in Scandinavia they live to 87-89 on average.
The first step in taxing the rich involves getting rid of tax breaks, which the Democrats seem to love to keep in the tax code to benefit the Amazon's and Facebook's of the world. They pay zero net taxes after all the bogus tax breaks. They are the ones who should be footing the highest tax bills of all, not the middle and upper middle class.
Again, you're too indoctrinated there. You buy too hard into source A and zone out source B as "misinformation". There are definitely two sides and there is definitely a micro but real amount of man made climate change, which is being neutralized by advancements in technology. The whole AOC "the world is going to end in 12 years unless we stop using ACs and heaters and eating hamburgers" is a load of bullcrap.
it is mind blowing to me that some people still believe that human activity has little impact on our climate. What is your education? Tell that you have at least a higher degree in science (minimum master)?
Tell it, Darrin.
Testify!!!
Don't try charmin' me. I ain't in a charmin' mood.
Because you politicized it from day one.
