What political party do you consider yourself to be?

I've noticed that many non theist folks tend to have left leaning political beliefs. So I'm just curious what you lean towards.

I've voted for more than one, depending upon which seems to have the best approach to the pertinent issues at the time. I would never align myself permanently with a party.

@briangs However, that 'person' running with that party, will never be able to stand-out, of the herd! He will merge, with the majority over time! (Think about mob mentality.) Look at Trump, he was once a Democrat and SHOULD have some carryover, from his earlier life?! He is even confused!!!

@briangs One Goebbels study want make a majority premise! And I wonder where YOU are here! Are you saying Goebbel's expresses your position on THE matter, too? I am a little confused!?

@briangs I must admit that I felt you had some secret insight, that I am not privy, too?

@briangs please may I ask...since this was not a discussion on Goebbels, why did you abdicate your power (of thought) to Goebbels? You are using 'Goebbels' complete quote to support your position! Can"t you stand behind YOUR argument?

@briangs ...'stand behind your argument,' with your own words?

@briangs AND...I see that you disespect people with EASE...that is scary!!

@briangs ...your message is not meant as an exchange. You simply pushed me into a corner. If you are satisfied with that, nothing else that I might say, would help here.

@Freedompath Who is @briangs you keep atting?

@BlueWave check his bio, for particulars...I am just responding to his responses...

@Freedompath I did that before I asked you who it is. I'm wondering if it is an invisible person to only me. When I click on @briangs, it says the person does not exist. It's a tad confusing.

@BlueWave ...well, he must have taken himself out of the running...that's a shame, because he may have on the verge of a 'break through!'

I can confirm that there was a briangs, and that he did mention Jo Goebbels. I'm not sure why freedompath refers to it as a Goebbels study though...

I am registered independent. if agnostic or atheist had a party I would switch in a heartbeat to that.

@Marcus_Angelus There is another idea floating around fundamentalist there are too many stipulations that go with either concept communist is about government control where capitalist think the wealthy control is more beneficial. If they were to put the control to the intelligent they would find a middle ground as to both sides of the scale would balance out. example You want the military to be strong so you would fortify but in turn teachers are underpaid so (this is just an example) you make teachers with suitable standards {would not expect a teacher to have the physical ability that a mainstream military unit would have}. military with ranks and higher pay grades for the more educated teachers. To be in any elected position you need to have served in at least 1 year of military duty in turn you get to examine the teachers so as they are fit to be a candidate to be a teacher. The business would be self regulated but have standards for the amount of people they employ. say a company is making X number of dollars a month that company would need to employ enough people to satisfy a percentage of the capital they earn.

Social Dems..always

Same here. Bernie is my hero. Plus, Larry David does a fantastic impression of him.

@PinkPassion
I been following since he was elected Mayor of Burlington Vermont..love that man!

I can't say that I lean left, anymore. I can say... with all that is in me and all that I stand for...it is not the GOP...Republican! Since we only have 2 choices, I stand with the left...Democrat! But, it bothers me that their 'stand' is 'wobbly!' I realize, that the 'left' has never been...'screaming,' 'over-talking,' fools, but sometimes, they need to 'speak-up' for what is humane and 'right!' and FAIR!

@Marcus_Angelus I must have missed something here in my "old age'...I have seldom heard a reasoning person refer to Democrats as 'communism'! What dictionary did you use, maybe I will look it up in the kind you used and see where I went off the cliff...

Uhm......we got it. 😉 I'm going to guess you did not mean to post that five times, right?

I have always been very liberal and have never voted for a Republican in my and never plan to. Depending on the office and the candidates as well as what’s at stake usually determines my vote. 2000 was a perfect example. I wanted to vote for Nadar but felt like I needed to vote for Gore. To many people did vote for Nadar which gave us Bush who ran the country into the ground. I was, and am, a proud Bernie supporter. Just imagine if the last 366 days had been with Bernie! Instead we have fascism

I'm definitely a Democrat. I am like most here in that I don't totally agree with either party. Republicans found a gold mine when they aligned with the evangelicals, but the Democrats keep shooting themselves in the foot by choosing candidates that aren't popular.

I lean towards making ordinary peoples' lives better - which, I guess, means somewhat 'left of centre' (or, as US Republicans would say, a HOWLING COMMUNIST).

However I have found no pollitical party that is active and meaningfully strong which does not pander to the wealthy and corporate business more than I would like to myself ... so I don't really associate with a party.

Green Party [greenparty.org]

Labour Party, AUS. They are on the left side of the political divide.

I can't bring myself to fully adopt The Greens yet - even if I really should. Some habits/traditions are still difficult to change.

I waiver between Secular Party and Sustainable AustraliaParty which is about sustainable population. Both put science first.

There was a guy, who legally changed his name to "Zero Population Growth". This was back in the mid-90s. I worked in the public service and he corresponded with our office very regularly. I worked in the mail room and constantly mailed envelopes addressed to "Mr. Zero Population Growth".

Have you heard of him? If so, do you know if he ever became a proper political personality.

I no longer identify with any of our political parties. I think they are all full of shat and corrupt. I will vote for a candidate that best represents me regardless of party affiliation.

Socialist Democrat, registered democrat.

I grew up in a 3 party system. Is not all that you dream that it will be. If you ask for what party I vote in america... I will be honest... the first motherfucker that gives Puerto Rico the Independence will get my vote if the individual has a DD-214... You Never Served... You won't get my vote. About 3 party system... more corruption, it is just with a different mask. the minority of the 3 will make alliances once here, next time there... selling out constantly. And majority rule will be a mirage with little value since nothing is firm and concrete and is subject to backroom deals.

I am a Democratic Socialist.

I'm so leftist I have to look over my right sholder to wave at Cory Booker.

Consider myself as a Moderate. Now if there was a party for me, would love it. I am fiscally conservative, and socially liberal. Operate with a balanced budget, and against corporate welfare. Am not a bedroom police.

I am a loose canon, I vote for the one I judge to be the most capable one to solve our problems in the way I think they should be solved and then keep an eye on them like a hawk because I think they are all a bunch of power hungry egomaniacs that will stab you in the back at the first chance they get

I’m democrat but I’d rather be none with the political jokes I’m disgusted. It’s not a show it’s our county.

I'm a registered Democrat, but that's only so I can vote in primaries in NY for the rare chance that a Democrat candidate has the same values as I do like one did in the 2016 election. I would say I'm Independent and/or Green and/or Social Democrat. Our political system is a joke though. Money talks. The politicians who actually give a shit are the ones who get smeared or discounted as not having a real chance to win. That whole "voting 3rd party ruins the vote" thing is a fallacy. 2000 was shown to be a fallacy in that respect. It's the same thing every election. I don't owe my damn vote to anyone or party. Get over it!

Let's put it this way...

I didn't leave the republican party, the republican party left me.

While I "vote" democratic, I feel like they're just as corrupt as the Conservatives. In the battle between evil and the lesser of two evils, the "lesser" is still lesser...

I don't like to confine myself to categories, but that's a boring cop-out of an answer, so I'm gonna go with the Green party. In truth, some of my values could be seen as conservative, while other values are even farther to the left of most liberals.

Politics is the art of making lies sound truthful and murder respectable." Dr Thomas Szasz.

Every statement can be divided into three subcategories: 1. The affective content which designed to affect the emotions of the listener or reader. 2. The informative content which is designed to convey information to the reader or listener. 3. The promotive content which is designed to promote the values of the speaker or writer. I have no reason to believe that political speeches would contain more than 10% of the informative content.
