What Political party are you, Americans?

[Jupiter]

I have to say a tie between "person not the party" or "tea party" or... dare i say.... "independent." Don't bash the Tea Party one... just give us your opinions of what you relate to the most, and why.
here is a link to all of the parties.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_the_United_States

[trooneh]

Independent but heavily lean towards Democrat.

Okay, may I ask why?

I don't want to associate myself with a party because of all the labels that come with it, but I'm quite socially and fiscally liberal.

But why are you Liberal?

[trooneh]

I'm liberal because I support rights such as gay marriage and abortion. I also believe the government as a responsibility to help its poorest citizens.

Interesting.

[Neptune]

Democrat for the most part, but, I agree with Republicans on some issue (ex: abortion) but I agree with the democrats on more issues like gay marriage, taxes, etc.

[Perseus]

I'm independent. I find it stupid and ridiculous to vote base on party. I will vote for whomever I think is the best fit to run the country. If it's a Republican, so be it. If it's a Democrat, so be it. Neither of the two parties are right.

[AllThatYouDreamed]

Libertarian.
How I view it: Keep your mits out of my wallet, and out of my social life.

this. I'm more of a Democrat

[Amnesiac]

I'm a libertarian (I voted independent in the poll). I believe in separating government and the free market, ending any sort of benefits for corporations, separation of church and state, and barring government from establishing a moral platform. I believe the primary role of government is to prevent the rights of the individual from being eroded.

[aperson444]

I'm a Communist, so I support Socialist parties like CPUSA/SPUSA, but I am also heavily Libertarian. Since Communism is a step too far in the right direction (I believe so), and thus is not feasible at this time, I think it is essential that we establish a Libertarian system. For that reason, I support the Tea Party and Ron Paul, but I feel that most American political parties are quite frivolous and I prefer to not label myself. I was once part of a group that attempted to establish a new Communist party in the USA (the International Communist Party), but it ultimately dissolved because we had a lot of idiotic members that were not Communists but rather fanboys of the USSR. Once said Libertarian system and small government is established, I believe that we should follow ideas of Bakunin and Kropotkin and establish a heavily Marxist system that is no more than a collection of stateless, classless regions governed by the people for the people (i.e total democracy and existence of a democratically elected workers' council as well as the abolition of a workers' party as a revolutionary vanguard and replacement of such by a body consisting of workers' councils -- in other words the end of party politics).

Thus, I believe in total freedom of Social rights and a small but egalitarian, classless, stateless system (i.e Marxism/Trotskyism with a very large dispersion of Anarchist and Libertarian ideals). This means that alongside a Communist/Altruist system, there will be no gun control, no drug control, no control on same sex marriage, and strict immigration laws so as to give rights to citizens of a loosely governed nation (like the early US Union). For this reason, I am a big fan of Libertarian parties, but I do not believe that the free market system can function alongside a Libertarian system. Thus, free-market Capitalism is ultimately flawed in this sense and cannot truly coexist with Social freedom.

Libertarian - Socially liberal and economically moderate.

I think I might start my own party, actually... the Common Sense Party. Anyone want to join?

[Black Eight]

I support the Green Party, but you didn't make it part of the poll.

[Sugaree]

I don't want to associate myself with a party because of all the labels that come with it, but I'm quite socially and fiscally liberal.

If you don't want to associate yourself with a party, don't call yourself an independent. Independents are classified as their own party, so you're technically labeling yourself.

I don't put myself into any political party because I find the party system to be absolutely pointless. Either way, you get butt fucked; why does it matter what party you support?

[RoseyCadaver]

If I had to label myself as something it probably be more on the liberal side or independent.As long as they aren't just trying to nurse the big corporations or throw money into more wars.

[Syvelocin]

Just keep the conservatives out of the white house and I don't really care. Anything further than that doesn't phase me much.

[Jupiter]

I agree. No one too.. ya know, swinged. Like.. no one completely democrat, and the same for republican. everyone needs to be open minded.

[Stronger]

I checked both Democrate/Republican why?....

Democrate:
- Pro-Choice
- Gay Rights
Probably more just cant think of anything

Republican:
- Stem Cell Research
- Capital Punishment
Again probably more but just can't think of any

*These are my opinions only*

[Amnesiac]

I checked both Democrate/Republican why?....

Democrate:
- Gay Rights

Republican:
- People control the government/less govenment involement
- My money, my land, my property

These parties don't truly support these things, especially the Republicans concerning "less government," unless you're talking Ron Paul.

Could actually be wrong about republican(those two things) but I thought Demos did support gay rights and I just did some quick research into both, so if ur right then just ignore them

[supadupahitz]

If more people would think for themselves instead of being sheep and "following the party lines", our government might stand a chance.

[Amnesiac]

The fact is that the Democrats aren't unified on the issue of LGBT rights, which is why some support things like marriage while others don't (Obama, for example). The Democratic Party is pretty fragmented thanks to the great political shift of the 1960s, when it switched sides with the Republican Party. Because of this, many Democrats are socially conservative.

[Zephyr]

I identify for the most part with the independent party, but there are some issues from other parties that suit me better though. I hate the largely bipartisan system, people get so focused on categorizing... political parties will never be a on-size fits all of your beliefs thing.

[thatfatguy]

facist/authoritarion. basically very very very far right.

[deadpie]

Are you kidding me? We NEED ladies like this in the video below running our country. Obamer is a homersexual muslim and the tea party has the answers. I get all my information from Rush Limbaugh, true Christian patriot.

One nation under GOD, Christian God only and fuck all other Gods. Fuck schools too, damn atheist commie liberal teachers trying to rape our childrens brains with evIloution!

[derpderp]

I'm what I call a "Liberal Free Socialist" and I support The Socialist Party USA...
BTW VOTE STEWART ALEXANDER 2012!

[Ambrosia]

Republican/Tea Party

I've attended quite a few "Tea Parties" here in Texas, and it was rather cool. People are always claiming Tea Party people are racist, but we have a lot of colored people who are part of us.

[Korashk]

I'm going to eventually register as a Republican so I can vote in the primaries, but that's only because of Ron Paul. I'll support anyone who advocates libertarian principles.

[tHe_Jester1080]

Republican. sometimes will go independent. rarely agree with democrats

i made this thread before i became libertarian, or.. close to it, at least.

[antiabort]

I am not American but I often go there to visit family so politics applies to me, I lean more to the conservative side. Inb4 a bunch off asshats bashing me and giving me a negative rep

[User Deleted]

I used to think I was republican until I realized I was beyond clueless about politics... So I'm still pretty undecided.

Okay, one, yesh, of course.

Two, I recommend in future times you use PM (private message), or until you have 100 posts you VM (visitor message).

Mods don't like off topic posts, and often times I'm sure users don't appreciate it either. Just a little recommendation.

im gonna bump this thread.

now, my views have changed a lot since then. i'm now a libertarian. :3

This (http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz) might help. Or this. (http://www.gotoquiz.com/politics/political-spectrum-quiz.html)

There's surely more, just google it.

I'm going to lock this because there is not only a sticky for political stances, but there is also a recent thread open regarding a very similar topic, basically the same. :locked:
