Normal people would have responded to my question with a flat 'no'. Or perhaps 'of course not'. Or even 'what the hell? That's a vile thing to say. NO!', fwiw.

I've supported pulling back the reigns on the idea of bestiality as a crime for a long time.  if humans want to try to be kind to animals the food industry is where you go and you stay there 100 years working on that before you worry about a guy fcking a dog.

Cross-posting from a post I made on AH.com:

The Popular Liberal Party seeks to make the ideas of European liberalism, most notably, fiscal conservatism and liberalism on social policy, more mainstream in American society. The party also advocates for environmentally friendly policies designed to reduce global warming and further integrate the use of solar and wind energy. Trade policy is similarly important to the core beliefs of the party, with a majority of the party supporting "free, but fair, trade deals" and the renegotiation of current deals to meet this goal. Just like any party, however, the Popular Liberal Party contains various factions within it. The most notable are the libertarian and social-liberal wings. The libertarian wing is more anti-big government than the rest of the party and goes one step further in regards to the party's position on non-interventionism, supporting leaving the United Nations and NATO and massively reducing the size of the military. The social-liberal wing looks to have the party commit to more government intervention in regards to programs like Medicare and Social Security and was responsible for the party supporting the implementation of a public option in regards to health care. In addition, the Popular Liberal Party has a protectionist wing that seeks to impose many tariffs, but the wing does not have as widespread of a support base as do the other wings.

Other party positions of note:

-Pro-choice
-Pro-LGBT rights
-Stricter gun laws
-State referendums on the legalization of marijuana
-Tighter security of U.S. border, followed by amnesty for all illegal immigrants currently residing in the country

Question: Why is this Conservative-leaning party in Liberal international, as opposed to the International Democrat Union?

The more simple answer is simply I like LI and think having an American party there would be great, but to delve into it more, some parties with leans, like the Dutch VVD, have become members, and also, a party more focused to European economic liberalism and being more center-left or centrist on social issues would probably fit better in LI.

The IDU could work as well, though.

POLITICAL POSITION
Center to center-right
POLITICAL PROGRAM
Basically summed up under Ideology. The party wouldn't be monolithic on most hot button issues but some planks would be virtually universal among members.

[Schiff for Senate]

Name of Party: Taxpayer's Party of America
Countries: America
Affiliated Organizations: Americans for Tax Reform
Ideology: Strict fiscal conservativatism, protectionism, nationalist
Official Colors: Orange
Official Motto: America hates taxes and government, let's get rid of em
Official Publication: The Taxpayer's Manual to Freedom
Political position: Far Right

Political Program
1. Eliminate taxation, period.
2. Beef up border security.
3. Yank up tariffs on foreign goods.
4. Ban abortion, prosecute doctors and women who receive abortions for murder.
5. Eliminate public schools.
6. Legalize all drugs.
7. Eliminate most domestic government services.
8. Escape foreign escapades.
9. Use remaining funds to build a glass dome around America.
10. deport any company caught using foreign labor of any kind.

I hope this is a joke. Without taxes government will stop functioning, period, and 2-10 will be impossible to implement without the government. So you have to choose either 2-10 and 1 with some moderation, or just number 1 in its fullest effect. Numbers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10 will be very unpopular. Number 9 seems the most random - why end public education to pay for a useless glass dome around the country?!?

NAME OF PARTY: Liberal Party
AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS¹:
Young Liberals
College Liberals
LGBTQ+ Liberals
Women Liberals
IDEOLOGY: Liberalism, social liberalism, centrism; factions: liberal conservatism, neoliberalism, progressivism
INTERNATIONAL AFFILIATION²: Liberal International, Progressive Alliance
OFFICIAL COLOR(S): yellow
OFFICIAL MOTTO: For a Better Tomorrow and a Better Today
OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS³:
POLITICAL POSITION⁴: center-right to center-left

POLITICAL PROGRAM⁵

1. Total gun ban
2. Total fossil fuel ban and massive subsidies for renewable energy
3. Eliminate all protective tariffs
4. Create a system of fully-funded (by the government) healthcare, with services provided by the private sector. The government shall provide funds for the private sector in order for them to provide the healthcare services.
5. Liberalize abortion laws and make it legal for a minimum of 20 weeks in every state
6. Electoral Reform: Abolish federalism and presidentialism, Switch to a bicameral parliamentary system, the power of the Senate is reduced greatly with it being more of an advisory chamber now rather than a legislative system. The House of Representatives is expanded to 1,000 seats. FPTP is also abolished and replaced with closed list PR for the House and STV for the Senate. Additionally, to ensure compliance with the VRA, nationwide minority lists shall also be created, in a way not too dissimilar to NZ's Maori lists, and it'd be for groups like Asians, Hispanics, African Americans, etc. End result is a unitary parliamentarian system of government.
7. Tax Reform: Bring itemized and state and local tax deductions back to their pre-TCJA levels, raise income taxes on the wealthiest Americans, create a 5% wealth tax for those making over $100 million. Also bring in a VAT, raise the federal gas tax and index it to inflation, and pass a VMT.
8. Transportation: Create a network of tolled highways and express lanes to generate revenue, this may be by using existing free highways or by building new ones.
9. Agriculture: Consider the environmental impacts of animal rearing and slowly take steps to reduce it, begin by introducing high taxes (30-45%) on animal meats that come from animals that come from animals that are the worst offenders of pollution. Over time, place limits on the amount of pounds of meat that can be in the market at any one time to make animal agriculture ultimately unprofitable. Also begin to research possible rewilding techniques.
10. Centralize school curricula. Standards for the material to be taught in schools shall be decided by a panel of teachers from around the country, who will be selected by the government, who shall look at a number of criteria to select these teachers, these standards will be taught across the country and will be tested in a government-created test, which must be passed, in order to advance to the next grade level.
11. Ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, and be committed to other measures to support women's rights
12. Overturn any state bans on affirmative action
13. Require schools to teach about the racist parts of America's history, and require teachers to engage these students on these topics to allow for students to understand issues like racism and prejudice, also students shall be required to write essays on both these topics as well as on their own thoughts on racism and prejudice.
14. Ban any and all Confederate imagery, including flags, the song "Dixie," etc.
15. Change the structure of the Supreme Court, require for judges to be officially nonpartisan and recommended from top law associations. Also confirmations shall require 75% of Congress, including 50% of the members from the minority party


¹Basically, any organizations not directly (or directly, I guess it depends on how you personally would run your party) run by the party but linked to it in a formal way. Like the College Democrats or Young Republicans or Young Labour, etc. Many parties have specific wings for students, youth wings, women's wings, etc. So that's your prerogative here if you'd have anything like that.
²Would your organization be affiliated with the Socialist International, International Democrat Union, etc?
³Parties in places outside of the U.S. tend to have either an official paper or one that is unofficially supportive of them. Include one or more if you'd like.
⁴Not technically the same thing as ideology. This is more or less whether or not your party is on the center-left, far-left, center-right, far-right, etc.
⁵I'm going to leave the part below this blank, because I don't want to pigeonhole what you might come up with as important or something that you'd in particular advocate if you were designing your own political party. You can post what you'd like there. Where your party stands on the issues, what it would do if it were in power, etc.

²An organization for the children of party members and interested youth, aged 5-15. Kind of a combination of an alternative scout movement (think the Radical Brownies but turned up to 11) that would also run summer camps, socialist sunday schools, socialist sports leagues for children, etc. Basically a mass organization to educate the young and provide for some community where there currently is none.
³A halfway house between a paramilitary organization and a gun club, the Spartacus League would instruct party members on the proper use of firearms, teach self-defense courses, and patrol working class communities as a means of monitoring police actions and defusing situations between workers as necessary.
⁴Supports of the creation of a 5th International.
⁵Daily newspaper covering pretty much everything your regular newspapers cover, but from a Marxist perspective.
⁶Monthly theoretical journal. Similar to International Socialist Review
⁷Literary-artistic monthly magazine not unlike The New Yorker
⁸Specific publications for major metropolitan areas
⁹Specific publications focusing on one or two major issues. More or less socialist versions of Cosmo, Scientific American, etc.

the motto is: workers (proletarians) of all the countries, unite!
i've some doubt on the colour, but idk if the trouble is valid also in english language

My own personal views would be pretty similar to the LP platform, maybe a bit toned down, so it would just be redundant. Gold is fine as their color, red and blue are taken, black is depressing, white makes you look like white nationalists.

Most of this thread is just "how many different ways can we be communist?"

Anyway, here's my attempt at a moderate hero party-

NAME OF PARTY: American Party
IDEOLOGY: Centrism, liberalism
OFFICIAL COLOR(S): Red, white, and blue American flag theme
POLITICAL POSITION- center-right to center-left
POLITICAL PROGRAM-

The idea here is that I'll strip away all the issues people fight about and have a party that just represents the core American values, which have been abandoned by Republicans and Democrats. These are-

America is not an ethnic state. Immigration policies should not promote certain ethnicities over others in demographics. This also encompasses a belief in racial equality, not equity. Everyone should be treated the same by the government and society regardless of ethnic background.

Broad support for capitalism. Diverse economic views should be represented, there will be no tax pledges and it is fine to support a robust safety net. However, the party is opposed to significant nationalization and avowed socialists are not welcome.

Near absolute belief in freedom of speech, assembly, press, and religion. This includes church-state separation on the last front.

Support for the rights of the accused as mandated in the constitution at every level of government. It is better to let a guilty person go free than punish an innocent person.

Absolute support for representative democracy (this could include efforts to abolish the EC)

I would consider adding support for gay marriage and Roe v. Wade as well (but not late term abortion or other misc restrictions) since those are things 70-80% of people agree on.

This is basically the Dems but without all the baggage that drags them down (socialists, CRT, woke censorship, sexual misconduct with hunts).
