    Genuine question for other folks on the left: Is there a conservative position you agree with? I've been asking myself this Q & am curious.

        I've always thought I was republican because of my economic conservative leaning. But then a lot changed. Mainly, Christian right.

        "Corruption is bad." I suspect most conservatives don't really believe corporations should be people.

        What are your thoughts on shareholding? My stepdad is one and says it's harder to distinguish corps from individual business.

        Yes, this. While I would like to see its use greatly reduced, I do think there are instances when it's warranted.

        Honestly not even sure what their positions are anymore but I do like the idea of term limits 🤷🏾‍♂️

        I did until I lived in Virginia, a one term governor is a nightmare. Caring about reelection matters. But some limits might work.
