I don't really follow politics as much as I probably should and I'm not informed on any of these issues so I don't know how backward thinking my results might look to people, but here we go.

This I agree with. It all feeds into our neo fascist western culture.

Took it for a laugh even though I have no interest in politics (American or otherwise).

According to the quiz:

Quote:

Candidates you side with...
82% Joe Biden
on social, foreign policy, domestic policy, economic, and education issues.

79% Bernie Sanders
on social, environmental, foreign policy, domestic policy, and education issues.

79% Hillary Clinton
on social, domestic policy, economic, and foreign policy issues.

70% Mike Huckabee
on immigration, foreign policy, economic, and electoral issues.
Did I win?

Re: american politcs
 
so i'm reading this book called 'the dictator's handbook' (i highly recommend it honestly) and what it surmised is the extent of which you, as a leader, whether autocratic or democratic, need to pay-off your essential party in order to stay in power for as long as possible. 'pay-off' is colloquially referred to any sort of private incentive for your essential party, that is, the central leg of your pillar required to hold your seat in office. the book breaks down political rule into 3 basic groups of 'interchangeables', 'influentials', and 'essentials'. relatively self-explanatory in name. in america, the interchangeables are your regular voters like you or I that have relatively no say; the influentials being the electorate college; and 'essentials' being key swing-states, lobbied groups, and various other private entitities that you require to stay in power (e.g. oil, banks, congress[wo]men, etc., depending on your political affiliation ofc)

as far as a democratic republic that runs the US, the for-and-against arguments against immigration is two distinctly opposed views, NOT due to morale and ethical judgement (but a lot of SJWs really like to harp on this just like everything else) but merely come down to 'who will these immigrants vote for?' obviously it will be thoroughly a Democratic-swayed vote, but it isn't inherently because democrats in office feel it's for the 'good of the majority' no; it's because they'll get more votes in their gerrymandered district.

like seriously, it's a really damn good book. especially if you've ever read machiavelli, or hobbes, or madison or montesquieu or whomever else. i have a guilty pleasure of political reading from time-to-time (politics=applied economics, economics=applied finance, finance = raging boner)

I guess I agree 77% with Bernie Sanders? I'll have to see more about his opinions to really judge though.
