[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 week ago (2 children) Why don't we just call a politician by how they act and not by what ideology they pretend to have? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 23 points 1 week ago This. There are billionaires in the Chinese Communist Party. North Korea calls itself a 'democratic republic.' The Reddest US states are also the ones taking the most money from the Federal government. Any discussion of political labels outside a classroom is folly. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago What makes you think they're pretending? Do you think all politicians are ideological nhilisists? That no politician, ever, anywhere, actually adheres to an ideology? Because I'm pretty certain that most do. And I think it matters what ideology guides a politician. I mean, I want to know that before I decide to vote for someone. I want to know what their guiding philosophy is. I think that's important information. permalink fedilink source parent
