Is Talk Elections a right wing forum?

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

So am I a conservative partisan, classical liberal Atlanticist or something else? Kind of curious now!

Atlantacist*. It presumably means your ideology is Atlanta.

I thought it meant Europhile myself. 

Athlantacists are Georgists, and most non-Russianphile Georgists are Europaphiles 9-]

It's so right, that they don't even notice

[Del Tachi]

The place certainly isn't conservative but, as previous posters have alluded to, Atlas has never really been a hotbed of genuine leftist sentiment either.  I also think our community is pretty "churchy" for an entirely online space, but I'm not sure if that flows from the overall political orientation of the Forum or some other quality of its user base.

All in all, what distinguishes Atlas in the online political sphere is how academic and non-ideological it is:  the site is structured to facilitate discussion of electoral results, predictions, polls, trends and geography more so than debate political theory.  The Forum community exists in the same online ecosystem as data-driven political prognosticators like Nate Silver.  The mainstream political opinion here is almost indistinguishable from what you'd find on the 538 blog.

No such place called Talk Elections exists.

Okay, you win the internet today.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

The strongest blocs in Atlas, and are over represented in the mod team, are partisan democrats who go with the party regardless, but with a progressive bias. Then is a more decentralized classical liberal contingent with strong atlantacist bias—your Filluardjans, Kingpos, Kosovo avatars—then partisan Republicans.

Anyone else is basically powerless and atomized to influence things unless participating in the conflict between these forces.

Partisan Dem mods roughly include:
YE—yes, you
Virginia
Gustaf
Gas
Brittian

Lib moderates:
Dereich
Mr. X
True Fed
The bland normie
Torie
Mikado

Conservative partisans:
Rest

I should note that while there are more of the second camp mods, the structure of ownership on atlas and user base makes one side hold all the cards relatively. I should also note that this analysis speaks of nothing of moderation styles, which are too complicated to lay out. It does seem like speaking out against a certain side of the Israeli-Palestinian debate and holding support for AES states is deliberately unfavorable to the mods, and there is a hope they not frequent this forum. I am only here this long due to my general non hostile and constructive presence and post count, but who knows if that may change

Still, I should note that the civility on atlas is much better than anywhere else on the US-anglophone speaking internet, and it is relatively popular. Whether it lasted this long due to design of altruism or through data mining pacts Virginia and Dave gave into a while ago we will never know.

Yep, you got me!  Universal healthcare, mandatory minimums for white collar criminals, increasing taxes on the wealthy, a billionaire tax (50% of the individual’s income), thirteenth salary for all employees, the PRO Act, significantly greater government regulation of business in general, a capital gains tax, breaking up monopolies like Disney, FaceBook, and Amazon, free community college, capping the amount colleges and universities can charge for tuition, eliminating all student loan debt, lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 58, a $15 minimum wage, banning companies from discouraging their employees from unionizing, six months of subsidized PTO for all employees, a carbon tax,  a 35% corporate tax rate, subsidized high speed rail, requiring all corporate boards for companies whose employees are unionized to have at least two seats reserved for union reps, and creating a permanent special prosecutor’s office to investigate white collar crime within the banking industry are all certainly things classical liberals tend to support

It's not right wing but it's pretty conservative, how do users think that the Compiled map is gonna reflect a 2010 Election we are being graded on our predictions and it was 20 percent unemployment in 2010

Guess what Biden Approvals are now in NJ 50/49, Obama wasn't expected to have a blue wave in 2008/2012 he was only supposed to get 272 EC votes making IA not VA the tipping pt state

Also, users are very afraid to make the map they want, I made that mistake in 2008/12 and underestimated Obama


Lastly, it's 3.0 Unemployment not 10 percent unemployment R predictions are gonna be wrong, guess what popular vote Rs have won since 1988 the House, the Senate and Oval Office have been Dominant by D's and we won 80/75M on 2020

I get a blue we may get 80M but Rs maynot get 75 but 60 M without Trump on the ballot we live on bigger states we can get 80 M but Rs aren't guarenteed 75M but 60 M 15M short of 2020, that's how a blue wave will happen on 2022


Also, GA is gonna be the BELLWETHER or tipping pt but it's not gonna vote to left of NV, AZ, PA, WI or NH it barely went D by 50K votes😊😊😊

No, we've got a mixture of various beliefs and thoughts... the forum seems to be solidly against mandates with a few libertarian leanings.  It's a good forum made up of good people, even though some of the beliefs might be occasionally deranged.

[Ferguson97]

Well roughly 42% of the forum thinks that a white supremacist is/can be a good person... so yeah. It's right-wing.

[Schiff for Senate]

No overall, but it is annoyingly right-wing on COVID19.

[OSR stands with Israel]

Well roughly 42% of the forum thinks that a white supremacist is/can be a good person... so yeah. It's right-wing.

DavidB is not a White Supremacist lol

[Calthrina950]

Well roughly 42% of the forum thinks that a white supremacist is/can be a good person... so yeah. It's right-wing.

DavidB is not a White Supremacist lol

42% is not even a majority of the forum, and not everyone voted in that poll.

[Conservatopia]

No overall, but it is annoyingly right-wing on COVID19.

Being anti-restrictions isn't right wing.  Indeed young people are far more likely to hold anti-restriction opinions than older people are.
