Are you a member of a political party?

[Regnum Dominae]

Seriously, we've had like ten of this thread this past month...

I'm an independent but I see the Democrats as the lesser of two evils. Since I live in a non-swing state, I plan on sometimes voting Libertarian to make a point in those rare times that they actually run an actual libertarian, not some psychotic Dominionist.

Gary Johnson was alright.

[Letzenland]

I think most Germans would leave Germany if the NPD was in power.

Non-Germans would be expelled, and I do not believe most Germans would leave. Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands would be elected democratically, therefore it is impossible that the majority would leave.

I would leave
Hello Danemark

[Altmora]

No, not at the moment. I am considereing joining the Christian Democrats (Sweden) who are more centre than most but unfourtantly not enough. The Centre has gone libertarian so thats a no no

I am a member of the Democratic party though (USA)

[ThemSandFolk]

Democrat. Conservative Southern Democrat.


Some Dems call me a DINO, I call them the problem with this country (USA).

I knew that there were a lot of these people before Reagan, but I didn't think that there would still be any. If you don't mind me asking, what makes you consider yourself both a Democrat and a Conservative?

I'm Socially Conservative,but I still want Universal Healthcare, Social Security, Strong Federal Government, Government checks and balances on the economy ect.



There are still Conservative Dems, but the number is quite low now. We will rise again.

[Potenco]

I will most likely register as a Democrat come the next election

I do wish this was multi party Democracy so I could join a third party and not look stupid. If I was an Argentine I would totally join the Justicialist Party.

[Diopolis]

No. I'm not. I'm an anti-democratist.

Same here.

[Ceannairceach]

I'm a registered Democrat, in America.

My views are similar, though because I value social over fiscal issues, I tend to support republicans.

He's one of the good ones, I would have voted for him if I was old enough.
Unfortunately, LP candidates like him are the exception and not the rule.

Yeah, I'm starting to look at the justice party more because of this. I don't like that libertarians are represented by lunatic fringe politicians, its really detrimental to the image when there are a lot fo very valid points.

[Shofercia]

Independent. Gotta love Cali's independent voting system. We can vote in any primary we choose, for any candidate we choose, and for any proposal we choose. Being partisan actually limits my voting abilities here to the state elections, and the federal elections supported by party X. But being nonpartisan, there are no limits.

Isn't the justice party left wing economically?

Actually I don't think they are, I think they're around where I'm at or maybe slightly to the left of me. I could be wrong though.

I guess they are a little further left than I thought, still, not bad though.

[Vareiln]

No, and I don't plan to join any for some time.

Wait really? I didn't know I could vote in the democratic primary if I declined to state a party, I just might do that then.

That chart's not accurate at all. Johnson isn't that far right, and he's more libertarian.
Obama is WAY more liberal than that thing claims. That chart has Obama at about the same spot as our resident fascist Prussia-Steinbach.

I hate our new so-called "open primary" system. More like "suppress third parties, and contribute further to single-party dominance in strongly partisan areas" system.

The problem with those charts is they just measure those basic concepts and don't distinguish specific policy enough. Obama is extremely authoritarian, and he might be a little more left economically but hes still in that corner. I was looking over the Justice party platform and I'd put them closer to the center. They seem to be a compromise between libertarian and green, but unless the LP are always going to run someone like Johnson I can't see myself voting for them. They've got to decide which way they will go.

Yeah, isn't that the case with this top two candidates thing as well? NorCal is so blue it doesn't matter anyway. I think the only way to fix the situation now is to break apart the parties from the inside, its already happening with the Republicans, and there have always been blue dog democrats.

[Johto and Kanto]

No.

Thats what I meant. "top two" and "open primary" are part of the same new system.

And not all of Norcal is so blue, my district is only about 55% Dem. (It would actually be a really good place for a libertarian candidate. Most people here are economically center right and liberal on everthing else.)

[The Sector Union]

Don't want to. I oppose them. However, I would vote for a Libertarian Candidate in a US presidential election because too many democrats and republicans have taken the oath to office far too long.

[Napkiraly]

Soon to be Labour in the UK, though I don't agree with absolutely everything from them.

In Canada I refuse to register at the current moment as I'm torn between the Liberals and the NDP.

That's true, but I don't know if what qualifies as libertarian here would be in step with the part in the rest of the US.
