Political Affiliation

[Oni]

I thought it would be interesting to share what political parties we all support or have supported in the past, lets try and keep it friendly though =D

[Crawfish]

I used to be a very liberal democrat, but I've become much more economically moderate these last few years. socially and morally, I believe they have the high ground, though!

[Galaxy Raider]

Independent, through and through. I've never wholeheartedly agreed with one party.

[Oni]

I am a libertarian.

[Sum Sine Regno]

Republican. Not as in the USA party, but of the ideology of sorts. I tend towards the idea of a republic with a strong civil society, a strong but loose grasp over its citizen, a well educated populace, and some socialism too. I am probably centre right, with social democratic tendencies. So I vote Lib, Pirate, and NDP, but I'd probably be politically closer to the PC.

[Volk]

Undependent.

I mostly lean to the left, with a big exception of gun rights. I'm a strong proponent of those.

Tend to vote against the party that pissed me off the most in the election cycle.

[brainiac3397]

Me-ism.

Anything that I find beneficial to myself individually.

Ive gone through the communist stage(Marxism, Titoism, Trotskyism and Anarcho-communism), then into the democratic socialist stage, followed by fascist stage, into the libertarian stage(the Ayn Rand sort) and finally out into my current stage of a form of indepenent who cares for whatever will benefit me and help me achieve my own goals.

I never did like affiliating with ideologies, especially when you follow someone elses definition.

[Gowi]

American Libertarian Party.

Left-leaning centrist.

I'm not eighteen yet, but I will gladly say that there is no political party that satisfies me.

[Jannah]

Omg these are the threads that always get me into trouble, but I feel because it's member's lounge it'll probably stay civil. Anyway, I'm pretty hardcore on the socialist side.

Exactly. And one interesting thing I learned is that many people who claim to be a Democrat or a Republican are actually not completely for the party's ideals as a whole.

[Andion Isurand]

I've tended to vote for democrats myself since I started voting, which began with the 2000 elections.

[Frizan]

I'm for whatever affiliation that is least likely to fuck the world like a back-alley prostitute after a bachelor party.

Everyone was thinking it... Okay, maybe not exactly that, but... Same message.

You're not alone, it's cool.

I don't care what name is on it -- I prefer a government that is an instrument of/for the people. Purposeful and educational communities all the way. For more detail:

Details!

We pay in to maintain a society that is self-sustaining. Individuals should have their decisions respected, but immediate societal threats should be a concern. Social programs and education are important to allowing people to overcome now-basic needs in order to achieve more and contribute more to their community. I also am extremely suspect of any system that creates hierarchy and a class system to maintain power instead of maintaining stability, there is a difference. Socialism has some great aspects as does communism and some forms of anarchy.

[Schmuty Buncis]

Er, a Welfare Capitalist I guess. Though, most (correct me if I'm wrong) countries have this, so I guess it's a silly thing to say. But capitalism mixed with healthcare and welfare are good with me. I'm more of a right-wing/centre-right person myself, so *shrug*. Can't vote yet, not eighteen.

[Goldmarble]

Rather libertarian. I do not feel that anyone, nor I, has the right to enforce their, nor my own, desires on other people.

[Silvermane]

Idealist-Socialist, the "dreamers" of hoping one day I can live in a country where there will be no classism, and everyone can live a humble life working together for the betterment of their society as a whole.

All this information will be most useful to NSA which I represent, enemies of the state beware ;)

Excuse my facetiousness.
