Who Want's to be Bi With Me..?

[Cooky]

I was just curious if anyone wants to be bi-political with me, IOW, be both a Democrat and a Republican at the same time. If you do, be proud and let everyone know. So join me, as we form a new way in ending bipartisanship, and create a new path toward political peace in America.

Join me..! ...Don't be a stubborn, old fashioned block head.

That title was total clickbait

New I was just curious if anyone wants to be bi-political with me, IOW, be both a Democrat and a Republican at the same time.

So, I assume that with the overflow of morons in current politics, we now need an overflow of oxymorons?

I knew there would be traditionalists looking to vilify those who come out as bi-political. After-all, we've been historically insulted as "flip-floppers", "Rino's", and "Dino's"..

...But we're proud now! And we don't care what people think about us anymore...

1) I'm not a traditionalist.

2) It is a fact that many stances of Democratic and Republican platforms are inherently in conflict with each other. As such, to say that one is "both a Democrat and a Republican" in a broad sense is meaningless and most likely a result of either misinformation or obfuscation.

Sure! Why not? Compromise is an important thing if anyone wants to ever get anything done.

Number two is false. Because there are some among us who enjoy some of the policies of the left and some of the policies of the right. One can't rightfully say that we're not allowed to. And that's exactly how (and why) we can be both.

...To be "only" one or the other, is to be a radical and a follower, IMO.

If what you're referring to is being politically eclectic, then that's different, and I respect that. I'm that way myself.

I stand corrected if that was what you meant with your OP; apologies if so.

I really don't want to be a Democrat or Republican.

Same. I consider myself a liberal and a feminist but not a Democrat.

Well then what do you want to be?

I've been reconsidering this lately, searching to embrace the future rather than be anchored to the past. Robots are replacing jobs, and soon we'll basically have a silicon slave force and few will have paying jobs.
I'm still communal/communist and Deep South, but our contemporary ideas that have worked for the past couple hundred years are being shredded asunder and cast into obsoletion by technology. Capitalism, Marxism, these are for industrial societies, for the past, and ill suited for a technological society.

Yes, I understand technology will replace jobs in the future... But we're not there yet. What about today?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I've been a Marxist and deep into Libertarian territory on social issues, but the world has to update how we approach how we fundamentally do things, because how we fundamentally do things is changing at a rate faster than ever before in history.

I'm willing to be non (but experimental) with you.
(Have you had all your shots?)

Your offer rings hollow in view of your past posts.

I disagree.
He's amenable to reasonable agendas from both sides.
Instead of attacking him, why not ask questions, seek
understanding, & explore the issues?

It's not a "will replace." It is happening now. It is not happening tomorrow, it is happening today.

But it's not really happening right now... Not for me, because the powerlines can't build themselves.

There's no algorithm questioneers for psychology either... Not yet.

This is so extensive today that even dental hygienist are looking at their career being marched to the guillotine. And whatever you build, printers can now basically do it as well. You have a job today, but if you were just getting started in the field today you may as end it now because tomorrow you will be replaced by a machine. It's going to happen, and not in the distant future.
