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.

Re: american politcs

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)

Re: american politcs

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

Re: american politcs

lol i remember this site. 4 laffs did the full quiz (extra questions + always choosing the elaborated answer) and got 91% aligned Bern, though when i poked through the specifics of the match i found mostly disagreements (via the elaborated answers) and a closer overall alliance with biden (70%) or even fucen kasich (30%). this is a very well researched and put-together site, but take it with a grain of salt: it is 100% clickb8

Re: american politcs

All of the democratic nominees were over 80% (Bernie at 94%) and the highest republican nominee was Huckabee at 59%. Results might have been slightly different if I weighed the importance of my answers (Huckabee is one of the last republican nominees I would want as president if a republican gets elected) but overall I would say it's pretty accurate.

P.S. I saw car today with a Feel the Bern bumper sticker.
