This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

When you look at the numbers, you can gather that most far left propositions probably come from maga supporters.
You can derive from that that only 4% of non maga consider Sanders as far left.
Maybe the graph should be corrected and fascists' views disregarded.
Fascists should not and cannot be included in any reasonable political system.
It's because they don't have an understanding of what Marxism or what communism and anarchism actually are.
Data is beautiful and this chart is probably very accurate, but America's understanding of and perception of the political spectrum has moved so far to the right that we can't even ~~fine~~ find the witness marks of where everything should be.
Label everything communism or socialism and pretend we know what we're talking about.
