@PatientlyWaiting25 I am so with you on public utilities. Might not work in all states but it's necessary in some. And it would open the door to move towards renewables. The public component in most places now is shareholders and that's what's driving cost to consumers.

@anythingoes477 It's interesting how the "ism's" just become one thing. People don't get nuance but they understand an enemy which is what they're fed.
"Illion" as in million and billion is another. I don't think most truly understand how much a billion really is. Trump increased his personal wealth by more than $2 BILLION last year. If you were to stack $100 bills it would reach more than 7,000 feet to get to 2 billion. About 1.3 miles. But MAGA just blinks. A million, billion, trillion...it's all the same.

@badminton why didn’t you just say hippie ?

@AthrillatheHunt Partly. But I'm more accurately called an FDR New Dealer type. I want the billionaires driven out of our national politics. Our taxes should go to domestic improvements, not endless wars concocted by war profiteers.

@milkymum1 true.

@milkymum1 that is absolutely ridiculous. no system is perfect, but capitalism has lifted more people out of poverty than socialism has.

@boudinMan where did you finish nd thevda5a to support that? But, why not democratic socialism as a compromise?

@GoFish Amen

@Midlifemale ty

@KerriJC
...so then, you're more conservative in your thinking than liberal, is that correct? In what ways? Can you give an example of conservative leaning?

@empanadas I don't think they're fully communist, but rather called "Juche" self reliance more than their foreign communist friends.

@BohoBabe same thing

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I like the libertarian party too. It's a shame it never became a main party.

@Cloud7593 there’s no control over a libertarian. Therefore no control freak billionaires cash to grow

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout An interesting idea

@BohoBabe sexual attraction isn’t a choice (just ask a gay guy if they chose that ) but monogamy or polygamy is . I guess I’m sexually conservative in that aspect . Not sexually conservative w my monogamous partner though. Only 6 outta 10 men get to reproduce , so it’s the women , not the law , that enforces it.

@AthrillatheHunt So then you're not conservative when it comes to monogamy or polygamy, at least not in the political sense. If you think the government should not enforce either, then you're progressive.

@BohoBabe I guess I’m sexually progressive then, albeit a practicing monogamist.

@meJess Recently seen several videos pointing out that the US definitions of those terms differ significantly from the European definitions -- and, one supposes, definitions in Asia, Africa, wherever. Plus there seems to be a definite divide between social positions and economic positions.
