Which party would you support?

[Dr. MB]

In a fictional country (not the U.S., but one with many of the same issues and demographics), which party would you support?

Solidarity: Economically, fully socialist. Supporter of nationalization, universal basic income, worker control of industry, and wealth redistribution. Strongly opposes outsourcing, free trade, and corporations. However, unlike most modern day socialist parties, it is socially conservative, strongly pro-life, and a strong opponent of third-wave feminism. Opposes most immigration. The party base is with the working class, Hispanics, and Catholics.

Liberal Left: Economically, it is centrist; almost leaning to the right on some issues, it opposes a universal basic income, supports welfare reform, low taxes, and a public option (but not full-on universal healthcare). However, it supports a nanny-state, with strong regulations on personal behavior. It supports racial and gender quotas for public office, company boards of directors, etc. The party also believes in banning classified hate groups and banning the use of racist/sexist/homophobic language. The party base is with females under 50, as well as secular whites in urban cores.

Liberty: Most of the social and foreign policy views of Ron Paul combined with most of the economic views of Bernie Sanders. Enough said. The party base is with the young.

Alliance for Prosperity: A hawkish and very internationalist foreign policy, with calls for open borders and unlimited immigration. Strongly supports unrestricted free trade, the elimination of the income tax, and deregulation. It has a socially liberal element to it, with expressed support for same-sex marriage and is pro-choice. The party base is with the suburban upper-middle-class to upper class.

Front for Justice: A newly formed party. Populist, with some right-wing elements but mostly left-wing elements. Skeptical of the "deep state" and of all aspects of globalism and globalization. The party leader is mayor of the second-largest city, and despite "ruling with an iron fist" is well-liked. The party has support with rural voters, older men, and, surprisingly, blacks.

[Dr. MB]

Personally, I would be fine with any party besides Liberal Left or Alliance for Prosperity.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Personally, I would be fine with both any party besides Liberal Left or Alliance for Prosperity, which are pretty much perfect (minus Prosperity's income tax issue). The others are awful

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Front for Justice.

[Mr. Smith]

Personally, I would be fine with any party besides Liberty or Alliance for Prosperity.

[Sestak]

They all suck.

Solidarity is full on socialist, so they suck.

Liberal Left is authoritarian (economic views somewhat meh)

Liberty is strongly anti-abortion and a tad too left on economics for my taste. (How does an anti-abortion party have its base in the young?)

AfP wants no income tax? Really? Most of the other stuff is okay, except for open borders (lolwut)

Front for Justice is authoritarian populist and is begging to become a dictatorship.

Leave the country.

[darklordoftech]

Liberty

[mvd10]

Easy vote for Alliance for Prosperity. Perhaps they're a bit too extreme, but they're so much better than the others.

[YE]

Front for Justice.

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

Solidarity

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Solidarity

Ugh. Only on atlas would a party like Solidarity actually win. Smh.

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Solidarity

Ugh. Only on atlas would a party like Solidarity actually win. Smh.

You should consider yourself lucky - Atlas is one of the few places in the world outside of the NYT editorial board where a party like AfP would have any supporters at all.

This. Of the presented options I'd take Liberal Left and commit sepuko, but this scenario looks like if you mash the wet dreams and feverish nightmares of alt-right and left populists together. Evil globalist (see also: Jewish) parties that want to take in all the immigrants, ban free speech and steal money from the poor workers, against brave socialists who oppose all the social policies evil globalists want to impose like "equality" and "not making lgbtq people and women miserable".

[DavidB.]

Front for Justice, but Solidarity is also fine. Would pick the one that's most pro-Israel (probably FfJ).

[Former President tack50]

Easy vote for Liberty. Far from perfect but still a trillion times better than the others.

[Sestak]

It's depressing to see how many so-called "progressives" are so quickly willing to throw away women's rights.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

Just as horrifying a set of choices as current parties.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

ugh. All have their issues. Solidarity is too far left for me economically, and too far right socially.
Liberal Left is way too authoritarian on social issues, Liberty is great until I realize Ron Paul's social stances, AfP is an oddity, but their foreign policy and income tax stances are terrible. FfJ is just the tinfoil-hat wearing society.

ehhhh... I dunno, split between Liberty and AfP. they have exactly opposite issues for me, with social policy being the problem with Liberty and economic and foreign policy being the problem with AfP.

Edit: looking over it again, maybe a three way tie between Lib Left, Liberty, and AfP.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

Liberty. Solidarity's too socially to the right.

[HillGoose]

Alliance for Prosperity #LetsRoll

[Sestak]

Liberty. Solidarity's too socially to the right.

Liberty's socially anti-abortion and believes you're a guy.

[America Needs R'hllor]

It's depressing to see how many so-called "progressives" are so quickly willing to throw away women's rights.

Or LGBTQ rights. Basically, throw anyone under the bus for some delicious populism.

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

My answer btw is Liberty. Though it really depends on the character of the local/state parties. I can imagine being in the moderate wing of FFJ.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

Liberty. Solidarity's too socially to the right.

Liberty's socially anti-abortion and believes you're a guy.

Believes I'm a guy?

[Wisconsin SC Race 2019]

F4J or Liberty, but I'm not exactly sure of the difference between the two.
