Do you favor right-wing or leftist Government?

[Spiderman]

You might not agree with right or left or perhaps you are like me and you have some views that are right and others that are left, but if there is one that you favor over the other, please leave an anonymous vote so I and others can see if this forum is more right or left (How you vote is not displayed publicly. Don't feel pressured like you have to defend or disclose how you voted.)

Will probably need a third and fourth option. Centrist and other

 

[buddhist]

As a libertarian - neither.

 

[Rival]

I voted "Right" as I am conservative socially, whilst supporting economic socialism. So I'm an Authoritarian/Tyrant/Fascist/Whatever.

Call me pedantic, but I demand your definitions for "right" & "left".

Ill just give you an idea cuz I'm on a phone. In America right is Trump. In France right is Le Pen. In Russia right is Putin. In Netherlands right is Geert Wilder. In Hungary right is Victor Orban. In Israel right is Netenyahu

If you hate them you are probably leaning to the left

I'd favour the right-wing, the conservative, the republicans (or the new republicans) to run America.

The left have been nothing but useless.

 

[Revoltingest]

Did you not vote for Trump?

Yes, but as a means to keep Hillary out of office.
I disagree with him on many things.

can you point out what you disagree with Trump?

Just curious, as there are just some that hate Trump because the t.v said so.

Same with me.
My pal and fellow baconater saw eye to eye this trip round.
No fan of Trump, but it kept Hillary out of the government.
(for now but we haven't heard the last from her)

 

[psychoslice]

I don't really prefer any of them, if someone has a good idea then that is what I will vote for.

 

[jeager106]

Not just because t-v said so but because Mr. Trump is NOT a politician,
IS filthy rich, and those two factors seem to bring out negative feelings
about him.
I still believe most votes for Trump were against Hillary.
There may be some envy towards Trump because he is wealthy
and that might produce some jealousy from less fortunate persons.
Especially less fortunate Liberals.
I am not less fortunate than Trump where wealth is concerned.
I am flat out POOR!

 

[LuisDantas]

I find it exceedingly difficult to even consider favoring a right-wing government. Even the wording is... kinda funny in an unconfortable way, really.

 

[Revoltingest]

Sure. A difficult problem though, is that what he's said might not indicate what
he actually believes, or will do. So I'll address what I think he'll try to do.
I dislike his....
- Economic protectionism
- Weakness on bodily autonomy, eg, abortion rights, recreational drugs, prostitution
- Vagueness on some of the constitutional liberties he'd protect.
- Tax: Increasing personal deductions.
- Tax: Continue taxing phantom capital gains.
- Eschewing a balanced budget (a consequence of reduced revenue & increased spending).
- Military foreign adventurism.
- Federalization of infrastructure.
- Energy policy which ignores conservation & renewables.
- Federalization of education.

I predict that she'll fade into the woodwork.
Sure, she might spout off now & then, but this will be her death rattle.

I suspect so.

Let see, the question is do I prefer a right wing or leftist government.

Let see left wing politics according to wikpedia is and I quote:
"supports social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchy and social inequality"

And from the same source (and I quote):
"According to The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics, in liberal democracies, the political Right opposes socialism and social democracy. Right-wing parties include conservatives, Christian democrats, classical liberals, nationalists and, on the far Right, racists and fascists".

So according to that I would prefer Right Wing government as long as it wasn't the far Right of racists and fascists.
