I'm very much a social democrat. Social democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm not sure if the US has something similar... can't be as cut and dry as Democrat, Republican, Independent. |

I voted that I'm independent but I'm actually part of the Working Families party.

I'm registered as an Independent. The last time around I happened to go to one of those, "Who should you vote for?" sites, and it was quite clear Gary Johnson fit with my views. I don't know if that actually makes me libertarian, but in a general sense, I'm fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

The economic crisis in the Western world during the mid to late 1970s resulted in the rise of neoliberalism and politicians elected on neoliberal platforms such as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and US President Ronald Reagan. The rise in support for neoliberalism raised questions over the political viability of social democracy, such as sociologist Ralf Dahrendorf predicting the "end of the social democratic century". |

Like every country, there are papers that are right wing, left wing and no wing. I don't read the papers so couldn't say but I know a lot of them are owned by a conglomerate which is I think basically right-leaning. The news is relatively unbiased: if the govt ****s up, they report it. If the opposition **** up they report it. In fairness, even if they (RTE, the broadcasting authority) **** up they make a story out of it.

Here in the States we have, Republicans. Democrats. Libertarians. Greens. Neocons. Ultraliberals, and so on. Americans are a diverse bunch, and they're growing increasingly polarized and seemingly more unable to discuss or not always willing to listen to and hear an opposing or contradictory view. I have been guilty for those same exact reasons mentioned before myself, I am in no way an expert or scholar on the subject of politics by far, just having an open discussion while adding my own personal opinion, nothing more. Thank You! for your participation my friend. |
