No

You are a LEFTIST. I am a moderate.

I believe:

#1) Small Gov't. Stay out of my private life. Fewer regulations the better.
#2) I am pro choice and I think the 2nd amendment is outdated
#3) Either completely deregulate healthcare or Nationalize it. ACA does not work.
#4) Social programs should be proactive and not reactive. Graduate HS; Get job; Don't be a single parent. We should have programs that push for this.
#5) We need to have the strongest military both for defense but also for innovation.
#6) I don't care about same gender relationships. To each their own.
#7) Regulations should be there but don't over regulate.
#8) Lobbying should be illegal
#9) CEO salaries should be capped and getting rid of long term employees should not be as easy as it is now.
#10) Sanctuary cities are illegal and those that harbor fugitives should be arrested for treason.
#11) Drugs should be legalized like alcohol but controlled and monitored like alcohol.
#12) Tuition loans must be granted to those who can afford to pay them back. You cannot lend $150k to someone who has no clue how to pay it back.
#13) Israel is our ally. Any entity that is pro BDS should shamed and exposed.
#14) BLM is a terror group and kneeling during the anthem is disrespectful but should be allowed.
#15) Media needs to be more neutral and less biased on BOTH sides.

Comrade, I just took https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=5.25&soc=2.67 for you. it is a political compass test to see if you are right or left. I filled it out for you, using your opinions as best I could estimate them, and when in doubt, went with more liberal beliefs, to give you benefit of the doubt. You ended up safely right. Funnily enough, you are on the exact opposite side of the graph from where I am.

#1) I agree with the first part. TANG: Moderate CCCP: Conservative
#2) I agree. TANG: Liberal CCCP: Liberal
#3) Disagree. TANG: Liberal CCCP: Moderate
#4) Agree with first part TANG: Moderate CCCP: Conservative
#5) Disagree TANG: Liberal CCCP: Moderate
#6) Agree TANG: Liberal CCCP: Liberal
#7) Agree TANG: Moderate CCCP: Moderate
#8) Agree TANG: Moderate CCCP: Moderate
#9) (not super politicized)
#10) Agree with first part, disagree with second TANG: Moderate CCCP: Conservative
#11) Agree TANG: Moderate CCCP: Moderate
#12) Meh. IDK where to place on this.
#13) Agree with first part, disagree with second TANG: Moderate CCCP: Conservative
#14) DISAGREE WITH FIRST PART TANG: Liberal CCCP: Conservative
#15) Agree TANG: Moderate CCCP: Moderate

FINAL TALLY:
CCCP: 2 liberal, 6 moderate, 5 conservative
TANG: 5 liberal, 8 moderate

Seems fairly equal, although to be fair the things I would have been conservative on were balanced out by some farther right parts of your opinions.
And the things I am conservative on were glanced over by you.
You also left out some of your opinion on #6 which would have brought you over to a moderate.
Point is, if I am a leftist, then you are alt-right.

just so we can all be on the same page.....someone who is left of center is not a leftist.
someone right of center is not alt right..

You are left of center. Tangplay is a LEFTIST.

Let's be clear here, dino.

Explain why I am a leftist when dino is farther left than I am.

#1) You want to get rid of the Electoral College
#2) You want Free Education
#3) You identify with Bernie Sanders
#4) You keep crying about white privilege.
#5) You practice identity politics
#6) You are anti military and a self-identified pacifist
#7) You are anti capitalism
#8) You want an even bigger Gov't aka welfare state
#9) You support highest taxes on the wealthiest
#10) You think America as a society is inherently racist

#1) Yup. Not a leftist thing.
#2) Yup.
#3) I voted for him. He is left of center not a leftist.
#4) Crying? Dino does this too
#5) This is literally what you do. And even if I did this, it would be the opposite of a leftist.
#6) Anti-military? No. Pacifist? yes. I am a Christian not a leftist.
#7) Incorrect
#8) Incorrect
#9) Correct. Not leftist.
#10) Correct. Facts not leftist.

Again, I do not agree with the left on everything. I have moderate views on a lot of things. I agree with the left on a majority of issues. I am left of center, by definition. I don't have far-left views. I am not crying for impeachment, saying the election was rigged, saying Trump is a fascist, a communist, or a radical feminist.

i agree with tangplay except pacifist but i am also not a warmonger.
if america is not inherently racist when did that cease.....before jackie robinson...i think not.
before MLK was assasinated...i think not.
before the archie bunker era...i think not...
when obama ran...clear existing millions upon millions of people believed in the racist birther lie
and being black was still anemployment disadvantage.
has racism declined .....thankfully it has significantly but it is still a struggle.....and it is a struggle because we have a racist history......it takes a long time in this country to end racism.
look at the violent push back against banning confed statues and flags.......states not honoring mlk........birthers........nationwide police violence against black people.......there is a lot more work to be done.

Dino, would you say that you are farther left than I am? I would.

i dont know.
i am unabashadly in favor of the patriot act.....that isnt far left and that is a big issue.
i believe in keeping in step with modernizing the military...maybe a 600 instead of a 700 billion budget.
i support the money to Israel.
i believe in the states right to legalize pot.
i believe in fighting back hard against russia.
i dont know a damned thing about che guevera.
i believe in regulating the internet.
i believe in stronger laws to protect celebrities from lies and falsehoods and invasion of privacy.
i believe it is the palestinians' fault there is no peace.
i believe that the usa does not have a muslim radicalization problem but i do agree that there is a radicalization problem in france and britian..that requires big attention.
im not intrinsically against a wall...it is not a priority but it is not the devil either.

do these things make me a leftist ?

I agree with you on everything but the patriot act and Palestine. I think where you are farther left is that you are more anti-Trump than I am... I may be wrong.

i am totally anti - trump.....i think he is the devil incarnate and i really mean it.
and so is jill sten.

Thus you are farther left than I am..... I only believe that about Ted Cruz.

just kidding

on palestine...under clinton israel offered 99 % of everything the palestinians asked for re land and jersulum.....it broke down because of right of return....both sides have remained the same.
a person cannot understand the negotiation issues unless you are understanding of the right of return issue.

i dont think that being totally anti trump makes one a leftist.
the category of leftist is from comparing all dems...to each other.

Do you know what Comrade means btw?

This is I! :)

Your Political Compass

Economic Left/Right: -0.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.59

Well then. I was incorrect.

Interesting isn't it?

What did yours look like?

If you voted for Sanders you are a Leftist or just young. I mean he is my definition of Leftist.
