Am I a Liberal or Conservative?

Quote: missedhervee

1. Did you vote for Trump?

2. Did you vote for Biden?

3. Do you believe that man's actions have negatively contributed to climate change / global warming?

4. Do black lives matter to you?

5. Should assault rifles be banned?

1.) No.

2.) No.

3.) Yes, but don't care.

4.) Over and above others or equally to others? What does it mean for a person's life to, "Matter?"

5.) Definitely not on a Federal level. I think, on the state level, it would take one hell of a Constitutionally valid argument for me to say yes.

Pretty much agree on all 5! I sort of care about #3, but realize that the US is a VERY small cog in the global warming increase, and China/India/Philippines etc.. aren’t going to stop their exponential growth of fossil fuel use.

These 5 questions are not able to identify one as a liberal or conservative. I think all would agree that if I HAD to pick one I’m a conservative. But my answer to those 5 questions gives you little to work with.

That is why I started this topic: I really don't know what other people consider me. I am financially conservative but socially liberal.

I'm the same way. The funny thing is that SOOPOO and I agree on those five answers, but gun to my head, I'd say I'm a Liberal. While I am fiscally conservative, that's really out of concern with what I think the Feds should or should not do...for state-level politics, I'm economically Moderate.

Liberals generally want the feds doing more, not less.

I agree, but I am extremely liberal on social issues.

Ah, you Libertarians ... "Leave me the hell alone and do what you want, just don't have it blow back on me."

Works for me.

Conservatives favor decisions at a more local level.
Until the local government makes a decision they disagree with, then they favor higher levels of government to override.

Would a libertarian start his car up at 5am every weekday morning which sounds like it has no muffler, or is that some other political persuasion?

It depends.

If he needs to go to work, then he's a Libertarian or a Democrat.

But if he doesn't need to and just likes to mess with his liberal neighbors he's a Republican.
