The graph is an accurate representation of the American political spectrum, and placement on it is based exclusively on the tangible evidence of a politician's voting record. The formatting is just to match the nomenclature of left and right.That graph sucks, Ace!
I have to tilt my head left or right to read it.
That repeated use of the term socialists as a pejorative was my first clue.
Its true. There are plenty of fakers everywhere.
That's the problem. The nomenclature and rhetoric don't square.
The way I use socialist makes you think i'm speaking for you? You make no sense whatsoever, are you having a stroke right now?
There is no rhetoric involved in ontheissues' graph (unlike your Political compass BS that is ALL rhetoric)
ACCOUNTABILITY in government. It's an idea whose time has come.
Well, the socialists in American politics, and there are a ton, just want to call themselves progressive liberals and think we are too dumb to see what they really are.
Picking and choosing definitions and facts?
I give no fucks what they're called, I'm interested in how they fall on the issues.
It should never have been forgotten.
You do NOT live in reality. You refuse to answer direct questions, you babble incoherently, and you think political compass is somehow impartial ("It remains a mystery to us why Sanders chose to describe himself — incorrectly — as a socialist, and in America of all countries.... The Greens and the Libertarians have been shamefully sidelined by a skewed system that cries out for democratic reforms, serious curbs on corporate campaign funding and the implementation of a form of proportional representation that most democracies take for granted.... Are the fat cat vulgarian and the pin-up girl of Wall Street and the Pentagon really the two finest minds and noblest characters that America could come up with for its highest office?... Haven't the last eight years of neo-conservatism and Democratic deference brought the country too close already to a one-party state masquerading as a two-party state?" <--- totally impartial non-rhetoric from PoliticalCompass.org). You are just a lefty Trump (Who, according to your precious site, is more left wing than Hillary).
golly, so bitter and paranoid.
Examples?
That's what happens when you let greedy people run things. Like political parties and governments.
Schools, roads, power grids.
That's not democratic socialism sorry. i don't have a problem with wealth inequality at all. I have everything I need and want and prefer to make my own way. I like that better than to blame that I don't have all the things marketing firms would tell people they need on "rich people."
So if you think I'm irrational, just speak for yourself.
So without government we would sit home because we have no roads??
Wtf are you babbling about?
