Whispering 18,865 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Who wrote this mess? "Like Sanders — and unlike Clinton — Trump supported a decent minimum wage from the start, wants free education in state universities, has supported universal health care, consistently opposed the Transpacific Partnership Agreement and wants more bank regulation." Boy, they were way off on almost all of that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It was the first time I saw this two-axis political map.) Every question is biased to push people to giving the Libertarian-approved answer; then they graph the results, and surprise, "most people are really libertarians". :roll: This version at least tries to express questions from different viewpoints. As a Libertarian leaning person, I can tell you that the party itself is SO diverse. Literally, whenever the party puts out anything at all, at least 50% of libertarians disagree with it. Hell, I don't agree with a ton of what the party's "official platform" is. So, what's your view of the current American political climate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, they were way off on almost all of that! Trump did say those things during the campaign (among many other things he said, often contradicting himself). But of course, he's not governing that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course, he's not governing that way. Free state education? Universal Healthcare? Bank Regulation? As for minimum wage, he was for keeping it as it is for a year, when Hillary was at $12 and $15 for places like NY and CA. Then he went to "let states decide". He finally stated that he thought $10 was good the summer before the General, (when Hillary was fully on board with $15 for all) but the official statement by his campaign was still "let the states decide".

It's blocked. Trump didn't advocate for Universal Health Care during the campaign. Bernie did, Trump didn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
