I tend to be more left-of-center (the rank-and-file liberals a.k.a. progressive-orientated), yet, sometimes I'll empathize with the right-of-center sentiments.

Same here. Conservatives would think i'm a hardcore progressive or socialist but some of the hardcore liberals would think I'm a bad person cuz i disagree with the liberals on a small number of things they feel very strongly about.

Politically I would probably be best described as a left-wing libertarian or a libertarian socialist.

I don't really feel aligned with any of the political parties (definitely neither from the American two-party system), but I would probably be considered "liberal" or "democratic socialist" by most.

I am Far Right Yellow Dog Republican Christian Libertarian Constitutional Conservative.I am a Texas nationalist and seccesionist who believes Oklahoma and New Mexico rightfully belongs to Texas and who wants Texas to get all its land back someday that was in the original Republic of Texas..I want our country to not import anymore oil and gas and end central banking and put us back on the gold standard.I belive that all gun control is bad and I want all drugs and and alcohol and tobacco to be legal and able to be bought and sold in every city county and small town and have all forms of gambling be legal and also I want prostitution to legal.I think America should always be the top producer of oil and gas and coal in the world in my perfect world.I think Texas should become a bigger economy than California and that Texas should be the biggest state by population.I am an American nationalist and isolationist who believes we should have the best military in all of world history.I think Texas should always be the biggest energy and ranching state.I think student loans might should be forgiven.Oh sorry did not mean to quote you still trying to learn.

I’m attuned the most with European Social Democrat types.

I find some “woke” notions to reek of potential fascism if practiced by the wrong person who has authoritarian notions.

Extremely Libertarian.

The free market should be left alone with the exception of breaking up monopolies and protecting the environment, the consumers control the economy not the elite or the other way around. People shouldn't need to go through all of these regulations (especially regulations in California) just because they want to either become a teacher or to even do something like build a deck on their own property.

I don't believe there is such thing as a truth because a lot of times both sides are right like for example conservatives say internet is a product of capitalism while liberals say internet was invented by the government. Both sides are right because the internet was invented by the government but however Google, Bing, and Yahoo are private companies that were not created by the government.

Very interesting I am also very libertarian but I kind of view the whole internet thing in a different light because the government used tax dollars to invent the internet and also I think the current system is a mixed economy with strong socialist elements like medicare medicaid social security post office but i also think its a fascist like version of capitalism because the Corporations and the Banks and the Government are all in cahoots together to squash small businesse and write the tax code to where it benefits them the most instead the typical American.Like I just wish there was no income tax.Like I think Ben Franklin said 5 percent would be a burdensome tax rate but I could be down for 10 percent total tax burden.

Like i dont even think we should even have a professional standing army and military playing world police in never ending wars and foreign aid programs.I think we need to break up big tech like they did to Standard Oil in the early 1900's but then big tech would slowly merge back together like the Standard Oil descendent companies like Exxon and Chevron.Like I think you would have like a tech versions of Exxon and Chevron that would be a descendent company of your Google Netflix Apple Amazon that sort of thing.I have thought about maybe breaking up each company into a bunch of billion dollar companies.However the thing is it would prolly make Zuckerberg and Bill Gates and Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos get way even richer like what happened with Rockefeller.I am in favor of having as low amount of regulations as humanly and safely possible.But I think retirement advisors should be required to act in the best interst of their clients legally all of them.I also think that we should privatize social security and all government pensions and put in the stock market in a index fund because every worker could retire a milllionaire if we did that.I think we should privatize every public school and instiution of higher learning but thats just me.I think we should tax the churches maybe at 1 to 10 percent and also maybe give them a property tax based on what President Garfield thought if we still have a property tax but ideally we would have no property taxes in my world.I think Billionaires will always have more power over the masses than your typical American citizen but I think we should ban lobbying and special interests and get money out of politics.I also believe in term limits for every member of congresss and every elected official.I think America should partner with friendly countries like like Canada and Mexico and Norway and the UK to be the largest Oil and Gas Exporting country so we wont have to protect our oil supplies again.I think America should have the most formididable arsenal of WMDs in all areas in the world even more than Russia and China.I think if we do have a military it should only be used with the approval of congress and I dont think a President should be able to authorize any air strikes or cruise missile attacks or war without approval of the U.S. House and Senate and a popular vote perhaps.I think anyone who votes for the war should be eligible to be drafted so it can help them make the right choice given the somber circumstances.

I have a fairly big knife/blade collection. As I general rule I don't like vintage 1s thou but this made me laugh & it only cost me $12 before tax. There are a couple on Ebay but these pix are from the listing I bought from.

I’m a progressive, liberal, socialist and a feminist. I make my own granola, and I can’t get enough avocados. (You get the idea.) I’m also an atheist.

I’m pro-choice.

I don’t like guns. I don’t view the Constitution as a sacred text but, rather, as something that should adapt with the needs of the people.

I don’t view America as the Promised Land. I like the idea of a global community.

I’m supportive of LGBT rights and civil rights.
