Take this quiz: Are you a Liberal, Conservative, or Centrist?
Durante la mia permanenza negli Stati Uniti ho imparato molto sul sistema politico statunitense e ho discusso parecchio sul sistema duale che vede la contrapposizione tra democratici/liberali e repubblicani/conservatori, ma, per non mettere troppa carne al fuoco, rimando le mie riflessioni sul tema ad un prossimo post.
Per ora invito anche voi a fare il test, vedere il risultato e magari rifletterci, chissà che non trarrete le mie stesse conclusioni. Se, una volta fatto il test, volete saperne qualcosa in più sulla differenza tra prospettiva democratica e repubblicana, vi consiglio di consultare il seguente link, che è davvero interessante e, a mio parere, ben fatto.
