Comet Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I was curious to see which party the people in the people in the forest prefer. As for me, I'm a democrat. And please don't make this a democrat vs. republican war. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Vanguard Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Democrat for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) At least until I'm sure which side has straighter heads, I'm remaining independent. To say that I'm not a big fan of Republicans in general would be understating it, though Democrats haven't been the sharpest tools in the shed in recent years. (Case in point in regards to Democrats: PIPA.) However, despite any stupid moments, I tend to lean more towards Democrat.

Kon Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I tend to lean towards Democrat, but I'm with neither party. I'm not really not all that interested in politics. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinderSkye Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm neither, but I can't see myself voting Republican for anything like the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Left-faction Labour. Which translates into well to the left of Democrats, and downright communist compared to the Republicans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinderSkye Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Almost bloody everything in every westernized nation of the day is to the left of both of America's parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Not registered, grew up with to-the-left Canadian dad and anything-but-republican Texan mom. I'd like to call myself moderate, as theoretically I'd rather I don't get everything I'd like to have from the left if that's what it takes to avoid politics so broken that no progress can be made, but really given the choices I probably just end up being a self-doubting liberal at my most-right.

I don't play for turns Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 /no one is strictly either, but I lean more towards republican. However, I do lean towards democrats on some issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau of Isaac Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I'm registered with the Democratic party, and for the past elections I've taken part in have voted for Democratic candidates. Aside from a few positions most of my views fall within the party lines to some degree. Although it's not cool to be mainstream, so when asked I say I'm a strong independent utilitarian anarcho-capitalist meritocratic Social Democrat that don't need no government.

Thunderfox Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) NDP. . Yes we are a real party, silly Americans with your ridiculous Binary system, and electoral colleges Also I'm impressed this hasn't already devolved into name calling and partisan sniping Edited January 15, 2013 by Thunderfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I should probably be considered a democrat, but I have no party affiliation AFAIK. I may be registered to vote as a democrat, however. I just don't remember ever registering. Basically, I belong to the generally disliking the personalities of republican politicians more than the personalities of democratic politicians party. That might sound cynical, it's more about me than about dems or reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy_One Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm actually a centralist who ends up leaning to the right on most issues. However, most Dem's I know aren't exactly in touch with the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iridium Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I like the one that isn't actively spending vast amounts of money trying to prevent me from getting laid as best they can. Even ignoring that issue, I tend to disagree with republicans in nearly every major point at which the parties differ. That's not to say I always agree with the other side, mind - sometimes they're too moderate, and others too extreme - but they're at least a *closer* match. Gotta love that two-party system.

Anyway, that does make me worry more about the country. But come to think of it, I don't really buy the idea that you're a reliable source on dems or reps.

I'm exaggerating, but the majority of people that I know who vote for the Democratic party don't do it because they agree with most of the Democratic party's ideals, but because they heavily disagree with most Republican nominees' positions.

Caliban of Sycorax Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I identify most with the Democratic party. Although economics aren't my strong suit and I tend to avoid those topics. In terms of social justice issues I identify with the Democratic side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much the same seems to be true with what I see from pubs. If anything, I'd guess something like what Ham said might be useful - pubs seem to have a split between the social and fiscal cons, while dems seem to have a fair unity around social liberalism. How by-the-book I think my analysis must sound! I don't see signs of strong confidence or structure or specificity in leftist perspectives in economics, which is a bit typical XD Please note, this is what I see (understand). EDIT-Also, I hope I didn't sound too critical. I didn't mean, "Esau is not a good source" but "ppl don't seem to me good sources on why they vote." It is a snotty misconstrued usage of a sort of inversion of Thucydides's principle, that responsible citizens keep themselves up to date, and later responses/echoes of this principle and related ones.

redturtle806 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I hate them both. But republican because they have better economic policies and because I have no ethics/morals. Fuck higher taxes. And lol at all the ignorant obama supporters who got pissed when their 1st paycheck this year was cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
