40. I see the current political spectrum as a circle, not a straight line

Tue Jan 23, 2018, 01:39 PM

Jan 2018

At the top are the centrist Dems. They run from 330 degrees to 030 degrees.

From 220 to 330 degrees are Liberals. Most of us are in here somewhere.

200 to 220 degrees finds the Progressives. Bernie Sanders is probably 205 degrees - extremely liberal but there are people more liberal than he.

From 030 to 140 are Conservatives, and the Hard Right (think Alex Jones, most of Trump’s Cabinet) is in the 140 to 160 range.

The Alts run from 160 to 200, and they mingle. Sometimes literally. When Adam Kokesh organized his flash mob inside the Jefferson Memorial, many of the people who were in it were from Medea Benjamin’s Code Pink.
