Lemmy has proven to me that tankies have more in common with right wingers than liberals.

Yeah that's the thing about authoritarians; they don't have a problem with the boot, they just want it to be on the other foot. No better. Different axis, but the political compass looks more like a triangle than a square to me.

Tankies are the ideological opposite but intellectual equivalent of libertarians, and it says a lot about society that anyone subscribes to either after high school.

My favorite thing about the diagram is the layout. The liberals are on the right and the leftists are neither right or left.

Yeah I was wondering about that. For reference, here's the demon's bio

I'm still mad at Kathy hochul over the right to repair bs. What a spineless capitalist.

shes looking for a big payout after her term, giving datacenter approval, and suspiciously working with trump prior to the election.

They're doing their job for the party leadership, and they are rewarded very well for this (but never as well as the leadership, of course).

There are always enough on hand to stop any legislation that may be bothersome; always eight or nine can be found.

Politicians are one of the few remaining ways to become wealthy in USA, if you're not born with a fortune it's much easier to become rich via politics than working a normal job.

Ah another .world thread wherein the neolibs of .world try to paint anyone to the left of Ronald Reagan as a tankie.

John Fetterman was a bait and switch. We haven't had a chance to vote for him since his stroke and ideology change.

A conservative democrat is a democrat in name only.

Most democrats, especially the leadership, are conservative. The few who aren't are outliers.

[–] DillDough@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

The Democrat party is both conservative and right wing, and it continuously shifts further in those directions as a result of being the only party to give concessions to other side as a method of "meeting in the middle". This also allows the ultra far right party to keep shifting further and further right because in order to have controlled opposition there must be some small differences.
