Which way do you lean politically?

[ArdmoreRyno]

I'm curious which way most of the people on this board "lean". I find it interesting that at most sporting events I've watched that the POTUS show up at.... Democrats are boo'ed and Republicans are cheered. Was wondering if that's something unique to us 'sports fans'.

Football, Hockey, Baseball and (especially) UFC fans seem to lean right.  
 

NBA games may be a different story.

I haven't really seen that pattern with sports because the POTUS usually go to sporting events in cities that are more favorable to them. Trump got booed pretty heavily at a Washington Nationals World Series game if I remember correctly and Obama would get ovations to the more liberal cities he'd go to.

 

I don't think sports fans in general lean one way, it really just depends on the region it's in.

I'm Independent but my beliefs lean more liberal. I don't believe the Democrat Party reflects classical liberal values. I also don't believe the Republican Party reflects actual classical conservative values. 

 

I'm honestly weary of anyone who pledges some kind of allegiance to either party. Both are incredibly corrupt and do not care about the people.

I just put down parties, instead of ideologies. Would have a huge list if I just did it that way... but I'm with ya. I'm actually probably more conservative/libertarian than GOP.

I picked Republican, because as of right now, that’s the only way I’ll vote.  
 

Otherwise, I’m simply abstaining. 

 

But make no mistake, McConnell/Graham types do not represent many of my views much at all.

Isn't it problematic though that you're already tuning out everyone else and voting for one side automatically? I think that's part of the dysfunction of politics. 

 

I try to pick the best person regardless of party affiliation. When I lived in New Hampshire I voted for Chris Sununu even though he's Republican because he's closer to the Center and has done positive work. Those people are few and far between, I wouldn't disagree with that, but they are out there.

Ten years ago, sure.  
 

Now, no. 

 

There are some things I disagree with the Republicans on, but I can live with them.    
 

I can’t say the same about the pillars of the Democratic Party any longer..  Abortion (there isn’t even room for compromise on this issue with them), online censorship, their social agenda and, as a business owner, tax policy. 

 

Perhaps I could’ve supported a moderate Dem, pre-covid, but even moderate Dems demonized those like me and forced lockdowns and mandates when faced with a crisis.   
 

The Dem reaction to covid pretty much ruled out me voting D for a long time.   I very much enjoy living in a red state and do not want to ever jeopardize that. 

[Boatdrinks]

I chose R, but am mostly libertarian. That’s not realistic these days so R it is. In the past I might have chosen Independent. However, that means I’d at least give some consideration to the Democrat candidate. After 2016 campaign coupled with Covid and BLM riots , I doubt I ever will again.

I agree , SC. I think the party would do better without their kind. They needlessly lose some folks.

whenever I use to take those “which politician most closely aligns with your beliefs?” quizzes online about 10-15 years ago, I’d always get Rand Paul.  My views probably haven’t changed TOO much since then.

You know i truly do not care republican or democrat it would just be nice to have someone that had the people and the country they were elected to represent as their highest concern and that they would do what is needed to be done instead of trying to make every different group happy .

 

There hasn't been 1 president in a very long time that has been transparent/truthful & has instilled a feeling of confidence in what they were doing or what needs doing & there have been so many behind the scene crooked dealings with countries & companies that only benefits those making the laws & not those that have to follow them .

 

Then there is the thing that if someone really did get elected that actually first had the balls to do what needed done & cut spending to stop the never ending process to raise the debt ceiling & made the decisions to make things better rather than pandering to those cry babies that person would be over taken by those imbedded in the gov't that has made it what it is today corrupt !! 

 

American politics have become the every one gets a trophy gov't where there is no consequences and you get every thing you want weather you participate or not & those that don't participate or more likely to get more than those willing to work & have input into the system I know this for a fact !

 

Years back i know someone that was working and needed just a little help to make ends meet so they went to the local gov't to see about getting food stamps but was told they made to much money to be able to get them but they were told if they quit their job they would be able to pay them not only food stamps but rent, health care, electric, water & every other thing they needed .

 

That is gov't common sense at it's best so we will never see the America that was once the responsible country it use to be no matter what way we lean weather it be republican or democrat because none of them have the country or the people as their main concern if they did there would be no round up no legally prescribed opioids no cancer causing chemicals in our foods & most of the goods we use but it's easier & more profitable to leave it the same .

Communists, eh?  
 

Tell us:

 

Who are currently passing laws to:

ban abortion

ban books

ban history

erase LGTBQ 

enable child labor

enable underage marriage 

passing voter laws to enable minority control

[BillStime]

Which sick fn party did this?  

 

GENITAL INSPECTIONS?
 

The cult:

 

Oh, the children - we gotta protect the children from groomers but look the other way at republicans SEXUALIZING our children.

 

You look the other way with the abuse at church and now you will look the other way of state officials touching our kids at school. 

 

You f’n communists - every single one of you. 

 

 

[LeviF]

Billsy can play that game because even conservatives in this country have been conditioned to not name the major communist figures as the villains of history. Brainwashed, even. 
 

Leftshits idolize MLK, Che, Castro, etc. and hate Russia/Putin. Why? And why is it that Marxist social theory is the starting point for nearly every “philosophy” taught by every university in America? Because the US hasn’t had a major anti-communist shot caller in its government since 1963. The US was fine with communism, just hated Russia. 
 

“Libs aren’t communists! They just idolize major communist figures, use communist tactics, share a basic policy vision with communists, and all of their most influential thinkers have links to communism!” Right, couldn’t be more different. 
 

That neocons, including Reagan, were essentially an outgrowth of Trotskyism designed to marginalize and demonize the True Right, is another discussion.

Again, banning the following is traditionally conservative, and pre-dates Marx by many centuries: porn, pedophilia, *****, child sacrifice, usury. 
 

If you can show me that ***** laws are a Marxist outgrowth I will concede your point. This may be difficult considering the first ones known date to well over 2000 years before Marx was born. 

[Big Blitz]

American.  
 

“I can’t define anti-American, I just know it when I see it.”

 

—Big Blitz 

 

I know longer care about taxes, spending, State safety nets, or deficits the way I used to.  I will gladly take going back to a sane country where these things mattered more to every single American then how many genders there are.   
 

Americans have always disagreed and have been politically divided.  
 

But they always shared this one:
 

This country is the world’s last best hope uniquely founded to provide freedoms and liberties the world has never known.  The men who founded it were already the freest people on earth yet fought for more.  

 

And while imperfect, that founding and the ideals that proceeded it (largely Judeo-Christian and Enlightenment thought) laid out a blueprint for good humans to correct - but not at the expense of those freedoms liberals in 2023 America ***t on every single day.   

That’s what makes them the threat that they are.  They don’t agree with that and believe the country is inherently flawed and the cause of the world’s problems.  

[Andy1]

Yea Trumps best friends are Putin, rocket man and the Saudi crown prince.  But dems are commies? No logic there. Total projection but they probably don’t understand that either. 
 

In my experience, people who scream about communism have no clue what real communism is. They should speak to someone from a communist country to learn something. Everyone I have spoken to laughs at the comparison. Stupid American….

Everything they don’t like is communism. Makes it easy so they don’t have to think too hard.
