You can’t answer that more than half need to be happy to make the selection the correct one then !

What about it?

Hunter Biden is not the President. He isn't even a politician. He is someone who has had a tragic family experience and a drug problem that seems to have resulted from it. If he is corrupt then due process needs to handle it and not mud-slinging on social media. He seems to me to be someone needing help.

Hanging this around the neck of Joe Biden is ridiculous. He has distanced himself from it, and not commented, so far as I can tell, whilst trying to assist his son as any father would.

It shows to me just how desperate the right is to try to whitewash Trump that they seek to build this pimple into a mountain range and claim some kind of equilovence.

Versions of the far left can be those things however only someone who doesn't know what they are talking about on these ideologies or is trying to deceive would leave out the social progressivism that was part of communism (in many but not all versions) and that has been taken up by Biden and co. You say this is 'social progress' but that's ignorant of the fact that these ideas have been around since Marx and Engels - the very birth of communism itself....it's not new at all.

As to the specifics I'll leave others to judge as to your contention that the permanent mutilating of children is 'open minded' and 'common sense'.

For me and I believe the vast majority It's disgusting and these people should be in jail and in time the bell is going to toll.

You have the gall to call yourself a centralist when you support these crimes....it shows the real truth of the matter.

I'll leave others to judge as to your contention that talking about 'white supremacy' has anything to do with 'common sense'. It is notable that Biden never spoke about any of these topics in the past and only since the Democratic took to its radical far left turn.

It isn't common sense it's pure Machiavellian opportunism. If the political wind changed within the Democrat party tomorrow Biden would change with it...any analysis of his career shows it. Given your career choices 'Machiavellian opportunism' is perhaps something to which you should be well acquainted.

Both of these are far left dogma and both are important to Biden.

'There aren’t “versions” of far left'.

If you don't know what you're talking about Wisbech, just say.....on the face of it that sentence is ridiculous.

Marx and Engels didn't write about transgenderism as such but for how transgenderism is connected to Marxism you can read it right from a pro Marxism website itself.

Again, if you are going to have an opinion on something you should at least know what you're talking about to some degree.

Their ideas led to all of it.

You literally push cultural Marxism.

As for your 'half foot in, half foot out' cop out words on supporting the mutilation of children.....all while presenting yourself as a centralist.....I'm glad it's all there for people to read the truth of that matter.

Biden, who you say is full of common sense fully supports the transgender conversion of children.

Aside from your ending cynicism, which is opinion with seemingly no basis, I would say this is a more accurate reflection of the reality.

Yeah, it's called champagne socialism....and while you are definitely not a socialist you do seem to embody the hypocrisy of that term.

It's not accurate to say I disapprove of everything from the left. As stated the left is a broad church just as the right is. There are several left wingers I follow (for example I link to Russell Brand and Jimmy Dore, even Musk is a real centralist, unlike yourself) as I'm not someone who believes in 'purity spiraling' when it comes to politics. Indeed, not being able to talk to people with differences in opinion is unworkable and again....an identifier of authoritarianism, which is ultimately anti humanity.

What I really disapprove of is lying or manipulating truths towards an individual's own ends. If someone comes from the left and is honest I respect that. There are plenty of well meaning people on the left. As I say it's the liars, with the larger the lies the worst the impacts. It has proven disastrous to humanity wherever it is found....for example, the left's 'blank slate' theory has literally destroyed lives for centuries and continues to do so.

Liars are found everywhere on left or right but the left have higher scientifically proven connections to mental illness especially the further progressive you go.
.
For many on the far left their opinions are based less on reason and order and more on personal emotional issues. It's why they react so extremely and use hyperbole on everything, for example calling positions they don't agree with 'hate'.

My personal political beliefs are probably ninety percent utilitarian in nature. They are more related to how policy affects social metrics and hence how the real world works. They are far less based on ideology or your never ending 'jam tomorrow' or 'evolving' delusions.

No what is disgusting is finding forms of words to justify the mutilation of children. Frequently these are autistic children growing up around very liberal parents who are going through stages where they feel disconnected....something very common with autism. The idea that they are born into the wrong body is a complete nonsense and pure ideology.

Your usage of the word, 'professionals' tries to justify this. In reality what you are referring to are just the far left in medical jobs who agree with carrying this out. To present it as an appeal to authority is rather ignorant of history.

The Nazis and many regimes all over the world all had 'professionals' willing to both carry out their ideologies and find words to defend them.

For example you can find 'professionals' who agree with euthanasia and are carrying that out in Canada and likewise 'professionals' who are strongly against it.

So I regard your attempt to appeal to authority for these mutilations insidious. It's trying to portray the idea that some accepted consensus exists once someone gains a qualification in a field.....when the truth is that any regime will always have enough 'professionals' to carry out whatever policies they promote.

The bell will tolls on this....as it's not accepted by the mainstream...again disproving your claim to be in the centre.
