Maybe, if you're lucky, Trump will win his second term and then Ivanka will run and become the first female president to succeed her father.

But who would Albert Fish have voted for?

Batlord's reply to this was spectacular. But I'm curious what the difference between a Centrist and a Liberal is. Especially since the Progressives don't see much of a distinction.

I think of myself as pretty far left, with the usual anomaly positions everyone has. The only thing I consistently back in the Urbanist position - way more public investment in public transit, housing, and education. And the consolidation of the American public, a general reduction in sprawl, and a full-scale investment in renewable energy.

On foreign policy, i'm more hawkish than my Lefty friends. But only because I think when America leaves the world stage you're going to get worse actors.

I don't trust foreigners to imperialize as good as we do either.

I mean, if somebody is going to mindlessly slaughter Iranians I'd rather it be us. American terrorism #1.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

We have to kill the poor savages before they do it to themselves.

Good reminder, friends. I'm also distinct from my more progressive associates because I believe you can't quote bumper stickers and turn it into policy.

Are you ever going to admit that you're wrong that you can turn incrementalism into a movement when rich ghouls can just buy influence? I mean do you just have faith that capitalism can be redeemed and made compatible with democracy?
