I'm a bit curious on where we sit on the political fence? Discuss and vote.
 
The system is so fucked, there is no telling anymore. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks, the machine grinds forever onward.
 
Is the political fence like the one they want to build on the border of Mexico or more like the Berlin wall?
 
None of the above.

Not being difficult, I can't answer yes to any of your choices.

That seems a bit strange to me. This isn't "democrat or republican" this is your personal views. Are you liberal in your social views, which by example, would be like supporting gay marriages or abortion? Are your views liberal in an economic sense, which would be examples like "taxing the 1% more than the poor"?
 
I'm on the Constitutional side of the political fence.

The rest is window dressing.

Has anyone done this quiz that tells you what percentage you agree with each candidate? It's pretty in depth for an internet quiz.

They don't know Bernie's term limits opinion so instead of 100% I got 98% Bernie. Seems about right.

But wait--he's old and crazy, right? Crazy old Bernie.
 
BTW the quiz showed I like Sanders most, and Cruz, Santorum and Rubio tied for least. Not sure how I got 30% Huckabee (most of any Republican)?
 
magnifier, I said "none" because I'm not a liberal. I agree with liberals on some issues, but liberals basically think we can reform capitalism to make it fairer, kinder, more environmental, less racist/sexist/etc. I fundamentally disagree. I think capitalism is the root cause of extreme economic inequality, racism, sexism, environmental destruction, bad food policy, militarism et al. So while I will work with anyone (including Republicans) on an issue we both support, I am not a liberal.

Hope that answers your question.

I'm out. Time to hit the gym. (5 more lbs to go)

Good answer! Good luck on losing that 5 lbs!
 
I don't know what "conservative economics" means for purposes of the poll.

I consider myself economic liberal, but that means (to me) free enterprise and almost no regulation.

I consider myself social liberal, but I don't favor social programs.

You can look at what you agree and disagree with each candidate on if you scroll down past the initial percentages on the results page.

I also just realized that I did not answer all of the questions, I missed some of the additional drop down questions so I'm gonna take it again.

Liberal and conservative can't be applied in sweeping definitions like that.

Dems are considered liberal, yet they are almost wholly united in repealing or ignoring The Second Amendment which is our only defense against tyranny. What's liberal about that? They want to restrict your modes of travel and your right to free speech. What's liberal about that?

Reps are considered conservative, yet they support waging wars all over the globe whose sole purpose is to make rich people richer. What's conservative about that? They want to repeal your food and workplace protections and allow mass pollution of the environment. What's conservative about that?
 
Like all of these pick your candidate sites, it picked a candidate I could never vote for who disagrees with me 100% on my most important issues, but agrees with me a lot on nearly all of my more minor issues.

Bernie Sanders.

Well myself, I always make sure no one it on my right because that's my drawing hand. However, I would love to work with you, I just can't figure out WTF you are talking about.

#2 69% Ted Cruz ("libertarian"/tea party guy)
60% Bernie Sanders
59% Hillary Clinton

In all honesty, the site is worthless...

Speaking of Rand Paul, I think he is closer to my views more often than anyone else because of the importance he places on following the Constitution. However and unfortunately, I don't think he has a chance at becoming President due to lack of charisma. Then I like Trump for his never apologizes philosophy and telling it like it is. The Republican will never give him the floor.

Hillary is in deep shit and not likely to get the nomination from the Dems. So who the heck is going to be? Sander (D), Bush (R), Trump (I)?
Trump wins.

Oh! I forgot, crazy uncle Joe! Would anyone vote for Joe Bidden?

Guess that makes us even because I don't know what you mean. And I'm not losing sleep over it.
 
 
Pretty funny My top two were Bernie Sanders followed by Rick Perry, neither I would ever vote for.

Exactly where I got hung up. The word "liberal" has largely been bastardized from its classical meaning.
