How Partisan is Atlas?

I've become more partisan over time, perhaps in response to the intense Democratic partisanship on Atlas.

A number of my last 100 posts are "strategy" posts about the science of politics and the "horse race" aspects of 2020.

I'm not right wing on that aspect; at least not FAR right.  My basic beliefs about the 2020 election is that the Democrats have strategic advantages that they seem to be squandering with their impeachment pipe dreams and a somewhat flawed field of candidates. 

I've believed (and posted) that the Democrats were looking for a candidate to be airlifted into the race and present a coherent, broad-based challenge to Trump.  Bloomberg is the kind of candidate I had in mind for this (although I think Al Gore would have been the best pick here).  If the issue in 2020 is the unsavory character of Trump, a guy like Bloomberg is the sort of person that can build a WIDE (if not deep) coalition and can self-fund.

Atlas is not a partisan forum; it's just that it is currently populated with a leftist majority.  It's not an echo chamber like Daily Kos or Free Republic, however.  There are those here that would make it an echo chamber, but there are enough to keep it honest in that regard.

I feel like Fuzzy would be a contrarian, if there was a sudden Paul Ryan/Rand Paulian  economists invasion of the forum he would be arguing just as hard against them.

I'd be somewhat to the left of that.

If anyone disagrees with my scores for them, they're free to submit different ones by calculating them themselves. However, if they're significantly different I'll have to look back to make sure that their numbers are accurate (or at least arguable).

Mine's probably accurate for right now.

I'm also anti-impeachment, and I abhor the sham process that is now going on.  Whatever my opinions of Trump overall, I view this impeachment as crassly political and lacking in High Crimes and Misdemeanors of the kind that the Founders would consider to be such.  How this has all come about is shocking, and not in a way that flatters the enemies of Trump.  It is something that ought not succeed, and my opinion on this drives my partisanship these days.
