Post by Zen CyclePost by Jeff LiebermannPost by cyclintomThere isn't one thing that you've ever posted that has ever been right.
That's partly true. Politically, I sometimes lean to the right, but
more often prefer the left.
That's funny, I thought it was the other way around.
Overall, I mostly voted for Democrats. I'm a registered Republican,
which I assume is now considered the legislative right wing. I just
finished voting by mail. I made my usual uninformed decision in my
usual manner. I don't care which party they represent. If they
advocate or promise something I believe is a good thing and don't
promise and impossibility, then I'll vote for them. If I don't
understand any of the candidates ranting and can't find better
information on the interknot, I leave the office blank on the
assumption that a bad guess would be a bad thing. When I was done, I
discovered that I had voted mostly for Democratic party candidates. On
the state and local propositions, I voted no on all but one because
few of the propositions offered an improvement over the existing
situation or that the cost of a genuine improvement was too much.
In the distant past, the left and right labels were fairly easy to
understand. Each party had a platform full of promises. If elected,
they would ignore those promises and adopt whatever the other party
advocated. The Republicans hide their platform which is only 28 pages
long:

while the Democrats have 92 pages of rhetoric which promises
everything for everyone:

The Green party is refreshingly specific, but favors changes that I
think are best ignored:

Let's not forget the American Communist Party, which predictably
advocates a communist agenda funded by "tax the rich":

We'll find out if I'm "right" after the votes are counted, the
elections are certified, and the inevitable mobs, pundits, protesters
and rioters return home.
