Political Census (United States)

[Celsius]

I know we have the Political Profile thread, but this just gives a clearer view of what People associate with.

[IrishHitman]

You may want to relabel this.

All the terms are American, and some aren't applicable to European or other parties outside of the US.

"Liberal" has a very different meaning in the US compared with everywhere else...

[Enemy of the State]

Far right, in the libertarian sense.

[Atterdag]

Why on earth would you want to hide the results?

[IrishHitman]

Why on earth would you want to hide the results?

So more people will vote.

[Celsius]

Why on earth would you want to hide the results?

So there are no arguments on what people believe.

[The Dude]

I concur with IrishHitman. These terms are all american. You should've just gone with center, center left/right, left/right etc. That's clear for everyone. Currently this poll doesn't apply to me at all. I'm not a conservative nor a liberal in the traditional american sense, and I'm certainly not far right or anything else.

[Heathen Hammer]

I'm a fascist communist democratic zionist anti-semite!

But to be serious, its all mixed up in my case. I'd identify myself as far left, since I support ideas such as legalisation of drugs, increased government involvement in the economy, and increased freedom of speech. But at the same time I support some of the right wing ideas, such as people's right to own guns and such.

The Labels are far from ideal. Conservative can mean very different things depending on your side of the atlantic, as can Liberal.

[Justice and Mercy]

Not sure if I should pick "Conservative" or "Far Right".

[Hardrada992]

It's a mistake to put Fascism at the extreme right end. Right wing conservatives believe in small government.

[Barry Goldwater]

I voted conservative, I want to decentralize government (i.e. letting the individual states handle social issues with marginal govt. oversight to prevent bad like slavery) and cut both taxes & spending, perhaps even set up a flat tax...

And as so many others have said before me, why are the votes hidden?

[bushbush]

the general public is right about middle, the elite is split between far right and far left.

[kerowhacko]

the general public is right about middle, the elite is split between far right and far left.

If you firmly believe that, then you've never been around my family

[OccamR]

the general public is right about middle, the elite is split between far right and far left.

I highly doubt it at these forums. If anything it'll be majority far right/left.
Voted libertarian.

[bushbush]

I highly doubt it at these forums. If anything it'll be majority far right/left.
Voted libertarian.

well forums are generally filled with young ppl, especially a gaming forum. Most young people today are a bit leaning left. but they get canceled out by older people who vote republican more (stats don't lie).

[Celsius]

why are the votes hidden?

People tend to argue with people who believe differently.

[Enemy of the State]

People tend to argue with people who believe differently.

And? Let them.

[Ron Burgundy?]

I chose Conservative. Is there a need for Far Left and Communist. Oh snap! cheap shot.

[nate895]

I'm a conservatarian. I voted "conservative."
