From a european perspective, GPT is right at the center of the political spectrum.
It might only appear leftist if you're from the US, where you vote either for the extreme rightwing or slightly rightwing party.

- bartread 4y ago> Please control your bias. I don't really want to get deep into this, but both you and GP must see the irony in your positions?
- wlesieutre 4y ago> pro-labor Funniest thing I've read all week, thanks
- bmicraft 4y agoI find it hard to believe you actually think either party is pro-labor, when half the states have at will employment and the US has one of the lowest pto requirements.
- nickpp 4y agoSee Biden's pro-union stance to the point he avoids naming Tesla when talking about EV manufacturers because Tesla is anti-union.
- wlesieutre 4y agoBiden is so pro-union that when a union threatens to strike for paid sick time he'll tell them to suck it up and sign a law forcing them to work
- nickpp 4y agoMaybe he didn't want the economy shut down on his watch. But if it took the most powerful man in the world to stop them, US Unions are powerful indeed.
- wlesieutre 4y agoIf he’s so big government, anti-individual freedoms, pro-labor, anti-business and pro planned economy, then surely he could wave his president wand and force the rail companies to concede sick days instead of letting them shut down the economy
- nickpp 4y agoTouché. But a deal was imposed, just not the requested paid sick days. With such massive government interventions though, this sounds like anything but a free-market environment.
- bmicraft 4y agoFrom you comment history, you really love talking about a "planned economy". I wonder what that means to you. Usually it means the government does the planning, but that doesn't make sense in context.
- endymi0n 4y ago> pro-labor True that, mate. In no developed country you can do more unskilled labor for the same money.
- Mordisquitos 4y agoDo you really find them “on the left side of the spectrum”, or do you actually find them “to the left of your personal beliefs”? Those are not the same thing. It is clear that GP commenter was comparing the positions of the U.S. Democratic and Republican parties to the positions of most mainstream parties in Europe. Have you got any examples in which the overall Democratic (let alone Republican) party policy would be considered left wing as compared to that of the parties in any European parliament or assembly?
- GameOfFrowns 4y ago>From a european perspective, GPT is right at the center of the political spectrum. From a European perspective many talking points and political efforts of the Democratic party are certainly extremely left-wing. In fact, many of the European left-wing parties crudely import talking points on internal US issues, like for instance Black Lives Matter. Also, why would a "slightly rightwing party" push for anti-white CRT in schools, sex transitioning of children, abortions and mass immigration?
- ShellfishMeme 4y agoYour last sentence makes it hard to take any ideas you have about where on the political spectrum anything lies seriously.
