Thank you, Napoleon. Me too, I'm ashamed to admit. I don't trust Hillary, and while I don't think Trump is a great candidate by any means...I think it will be a wild and amusing ride.
Cheers!

I've been a conservative when conservatives stood for people running a business. Not only for corporations outsourcing and to grant them every tax goodie in the book. Trickle down never worked and so I'm certainly left of center. Mainly on social issues but also partly on economical ones. Party affiliation, none. The closest I can find is the Green party.

Slightly socially liberal with a mix of fiscal egalitarianism.
I believe in being given freedom, but being personally responsible for yourself - within reason.
Hmm. Interesting qualifier on freedom and responsibility. Thanks, Viking!

Interesting, and I see where you're coming from. I'd likely vote Libertarian myself if it wasn't just a wasted vote. Thank you, abaris!

Honestly, I can never really tell with you when it comes to him.
I like to keep you all guessing.

I don't live in a country where votes go to waste. Proportional system.

On a right wing forum id probably get called a liberal faggot, on this forum I'll get told I'm a bigot who doesn't care about racism with a thinly vailed agenda.
I've been told there is an actual positive correlation between being liberal and being an atheist but it was on a video and I don't remember the precise statistics.
I don't think I know enough about politics to even pick a side, I'm just happy questioning ideas both sides has to offer.
It's rare that I question any right wing ideals on this forums because 1 they're quite rare. 2 there's so many liberals on this forum if someone did start a thread with even a hint of right wing tendencies it would get bombarded with replies from everyone else anyway.
I mean there's about 1000 threads saying fuck Donald trump, fuck the police, fuck the FBI, and there's significantly less threads about fuck black lives matter fuck Bernie sanders and so on.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Hope I can provide some well needed balance to these forums then.
Fuck Black Lives Matter. Fuck Bernie Sanders. Fuck Hillary Clinton. Fuck liberals. Fuck feminists. Fuck social justice warriors. And especially fuck those people who over-use the term "racist" when someone disagrees with them.
