The Way I Vote, I'm Seeing

Tweet

When I first started voting (in American political-elections), I would vote for 'whoever's name sounded the coolest' (especially if I hadn't ever heard of either of the candidates). When I--i dunno--clearly looked at the way the government-system works (the idea that we're supposed to choose leaders who will make 'the same decisions we would make'), I figured I should choose 'the candidate who matches-up with me on some giant opinion poll. https://www.isidewith.com/quiz But a) not everybody takes that quiz, & b) my decisions aren't necessarily the best. For instance, my quiz matches-up closely with Donald Trump Sr.'s quiz. I think I actually voted for him in 2016; but I definitely DIDN'T in 2020! So I vote according to 'the Party next to the candidate's name'---not because "I'm on that team," but because 'the Party they choose' aims to make the world the same way I want the world to be. So I feel like I need to remind you of 'the kind of world each party wants to live in: The Republican Party wants a world with Assimilation • Tradition • Right Wingedness • Individualism • Small Government • Meritocracy • Laissez-faire-ness • Capitalism • Anthropocentrism The Libertarian Party wants a world with Decentralization • Small Government • Individualism • Anthropocentrism • Laissez-faire-ness • Unilateralism • Isolationism • Capitalism • Deregulation The American Solidarity Party wants a world with Protectionism • Democracy • Isolationism • Democratic Socialism • Pacifism • Nationalism • Big Government • Decentralization • Assimilation The Transhumanist Party wants a world with Democracy • Political Correctness • Globalism • Privacy • Left Wingedness • Progressivism • Pacifism • Collectivism • Tenderness • Democratic Socialism The Peace and Freedom Party wants a world with Secularism • Big Government • Political Correctness • Progressivism • Tenderness • Left Wingedness • Environmentalism • Multiculturalism • Keynesianism • Collectivism • Democracy • Globalism • Centralization The Women’s Equality Party wants a world with Left Wingedness • Big Government • Progressivism • Secularism • Political Correctness • Multiculturalism • Collectivism • Environmentalism • Tenderness • Keynesianism • Pacifism • Centralization • Democracy • Globalism The Constitution Party wants a world with Right Wingedness • Assimilation • Individualism • Decentralization • Small Government • Nationalism • Tradition • Toughness • Religiousness • Laissez-faireness • Anthropocentrism • Deregulation The Green Party wants a world with Environmentalism • Big Government • Left Wingedness • Collectivism • Democratic Socialism • Secularism • Tenderness • Progressive • Multiculturalism • Political Correctness • Pacifism • Democracy • Isolationism The Socialist Party wants a world with Left Wingedness • Democratic Socialism • Environmentalism • Progressive • Big Government • Multiculturalism • Tenderness • Collectivism • Secularism • Democracy • Isolationism • Political Correctness • Keynesianism The Democratic Party wants a world with Big Government • Collectivism • Secularism • Multiculturalism • Left Wingedness • Political Correctness or that's how iSideWith classifies them. And I think the only parties you'll see on the ballot are Democratic, Republican & Libertarian; the others probably fit under "Independent" (as I've never heard of any of them having annual "conventions" like the GOP & the DNC & ... do Libertarians have one?) Where do YOUR opinions fit? If I'm voting 'purely on the basis of party,' I'm voting for the Independent candidates ... mostly because I don't want my leader to think they have to vote 'the way their "team" votes.'
