Opinion (Poll) Do you identify as Democrat, Republican or Libertarian?

[Armbars]

Boy how this poll would have looked different 3 years ago, this place was different.

I chose Libertarian because despite them being a group of loons, they have more things I agree with than disagree.

I am surprised at the high number of Libertarian selected in the poll. That's very interesting.

 

[mmafan2000]

TS, you should check out the lemon party. Probably would be right up your alley.

Is that even a thing?

 

[TeTe]

I think I should add moderate, independent, socialist... Maybe Green Party too

 

[rob mafia]

lolz @ not putting greens in the poll.

 

[TeTe]

Poll needs "independent".

This.

Maybe a don't trust any of them option too

 

[White Whale]

I don’t care for or trust any of them.

Fair enough, I added a few more, but to reflect the current voting landscape I wanted to stay true to the primary options. Namely the big two and libertarian. I consider the other options to be fringe. Sherdog is no stranger to wackos, so I didn't want the poll options to be filled with irrelevant ideological concepts.

Greens are too insignificant to make an impact in the US, but I'll add it.

We need to cut the extremes outve the parties.. this mentally ill trans guy wanting to push gender reassignment on kids and normalize his own sickness... disgusting. And the anti science pro CT trumpers and trump himself have dumbed the republican party down by a standard deviation... but one things for sure.. the rich companies who run everything will keep getting richer...

The Democrat Party's platform is promoting mentally ill transgenderism on kids and on the population. This is not a fringe thing for the Dem party. This is coming from the top of their leadership. It is a core issue for the mainstream Democrat politician in Washington.

Poll needs a "Trump MAGA Party" option.

Where Trump eventually goes, so goes many of his voters.

Meh, with any of these monthly polls or partisan generally, the participation rate for conservatives is always way higher than for others. Also, you can rest assured that all the persons who voted Libertarian will either vote GOP or abstain.

I identify as a foreigner... so none of the above

Im just here for the yucks

With a few exceptions there are three kinds of people support modern democrats.
1) Ignorant people who don't understand how economic systems work and who have no understanding of history. As well as being ignorant, they are also extremely naive and easily bamboozled by the way a message is delivered to them, as opposed to the content of the message itself.

2) Bitter people who just seek to control others. They hate the ideas of independence and personal responsibility. They tend to be hypocrites too, generally only believing that the lives of others should be tightly controlled while ignoring their own failings. Their bitterness is so strong that they are willing to sacrifice the strength of their own country just to satisfy their need to make productive people unhappy.

3) Lazy people who want the government to provide for all their needs from cradle to grave. They share a lot of the character flaws of the first group, but their laziness and greed overrides all else for them. They have low ambition and in fact would be perfectly happy to snack and watch their stories for hours each day.

Was it? Seems about right to me.

I don't "follow" Jimmy Dore. But at least he pushes back on democrat narratives while you make excuses for them. "They don't have the numbers" is one of them. Well, they could have at any point since January passed a covid bill. They didn't.

Biden needs congress' approval to give Medicare for all during a pandemic or cancel student debt, but he can unilaterally drop 500 lbs bombs on 22 people. More bombs to come by the way. I bet you will have more to say about Jimmy Dore than the president killing people on the suggestion of someone who owns stock in the weapons that he kills people with.

Vote blue.

This video pretty much nails my response to you.



I still hope that one day you will smarten up. You are almost there.

Independent, but I've caucused with the democrats since Bush Jr as the GOP has declined into the party of identity politics and zero substance. GOP = all sizzle, no steak.

 

[rob mafia]

the GOP has declined into the party of identity politics

 

[Swiftie]

Independent

2016- Voted for Gary Johnson because I hated Trump and Hillary.

i vote for whoever I want regardless of their party affiliation.

I know people love to shit on the political compass and all, but it's probably more accurate than just Dems vs Repubs especially since Libs and Neocons are a lot closer to each other than they are with Leftists and Trumpists, respectively

If you some time for this read, I highly suggest it. Way better compass imo
