I believe you are somewhat confused (no offense). Your confusion stems from the spectrum fallacy, which essentially models human self-identification as lying on a linear scaleâfor instance, 0 representing liberal and 10 representing conservative (or vice versa). While mathematical thinking matters and this construct is almost universally accepted, it is an absolutely terrible way to model how people think.
A better model is to view things as "clustering"âsimilar to the Amazon recommendation algorithm. For example, there are millions of people, and if you gave them a survey with about 100 yes-or-no questions regarding their political opinions and had them complete it, you could create vectors representing individuals based on a matrix of ones and zeros.
Now, you have probably heard of the Pythagorean Theorem. What if I told you that it works in n dimensions? Well, it doesâwhether you believe me or not, you can look it up.
Basically, you can calculate the "distance" between every single person in your giant spreadsheet, record these distances, and rank them by how far apart they are.
From there, you can group people into various "clusters" of similarity by reducing the number of variables used to describe these similaritiesâby weighting them into two dimensionsâand then simply plotting the results on a 2-D graph. How do we determine the number of clusters? You can mathematically compare the various clustering groups and see which one has the least overlap.
What you will find is that there are likely several clusters for any given countryâsay, five to tenâand you can build stereotypes and mental models based on those clusters, which makes sense from a more human perspective. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative individuals would cluster together and probably share similar characteristics, while libertarians would form their own group. Similarly, Green Party members and socialists would cluster togetherâlikely close to the libertariansâwhile both would be far removed from the mainstream.
How would you test the performance of this model? By examining how people vote. Libertarians might vote for a Gary Johnsonâtype candidate, while Green Party supporters might vote for someone like Bernie Sanders. If they do not, then your model is flawed. This raises the question of electoral systemsâAmerican electoral systems highly favor two parties, which influences people's decision-making. Even if voters have the option to choose a Bernie Sandersâtype candidate in the general election (for example, Jill Stein), they might refrain because they feel it is hopeless. In Minnesota, one electoral vote went to Bernie Sanders; however, that voter was immediately fired and replaced with someone who would vote for Hillary because he was appointed by the Democratic Party, which had the power to replace him with someone who voted strictly along party linesâpeople vote for a party, which then sends representatives to vote for the president, while the popular vote ultimately does nothing.

The plan is to weaken everything and give more power to himself and the private sector.
1) Downsize the government so that not only it weakens it's ability to regulate the private sector, the extra cash would be used for tax cuts on the rich. It also would allow billionaire companies to replace the lost federal jobs.
2) Crash the U.S. economy so that the rich can gobble up more assets at a discount while everyone else is forced to seel and stay afloat.
3) Weaken American allies with tariffs so that they rely even more on America, allowing Trump to possibly gain almost full control over the trade routes in the artic.
Ronald Reagan on steroids.
Call them like I see them, I donât know you but I know people who say the kind of things youâve said and I also know them to be inconsiderate dicks 
Good to see you, old man Van!! Youâre right on every single point, but very few people who voted for this understand (or care) that theyâre well below the line and are going to be affected so deeply for their indolence, especially the fucking tariffsâŠDonnie already came out and said in so many words that the egg prices arenât coming down and weâre all assholes for thinking they would, I donât know how someone can look at that guy and ever think he was gonna tell corporations to stop gouging their consumers

So, what did Ursula mean by "We'll turn private savings into much needed investment"?
This has 0 relevance with what I said, you can think I am a dick but if I understand it correctly people should't insult each other in this section.

Believe me, I am no fan of the electoral college or anything that somehow supersedes the popular voteâŠif this were a real democracy, thereâs no way somebody should be able to take office without a mandate (which Donnie had coming into this term, to be absolutely fair). Regardless, I would say the terminology is secondary to the sentiment it represents; when I say ârighties,â I mean anyone on the political spectrum who is inclined to follow conservative ideologies. I know that there are many points in between the poles, but Iâve personally found that people who choose to identify with the same party that houses deluded oligarchs are generally all right with the xenophobia and cruelty if it means they can jeer people on the other side of the fence, thatâs all đ€·ââïž
Fair enough, but if you want respect, telling someone to âkeep cryingâ isnât the strongest tactic if youâre gonna try to moralize after the fact
All I know is that someone at work who told me they thought RFK Jr was a great choice for the HHS was caught unawares when I brought up the âhad a worm in his brainâ and âthinks Diet Coke is worse than raw cow milkâ and âdumped a bear corpse in the middle of Central Parkâ things, so youâre onto something with the propaganda theory
