The user base on this forum seems to be further right than I originally expected, but I was curious how representative of the general base the comments I've seen are. Personally, I consider myself to be slightly left of the Democrats.

Seeing as nationalism is considered right-wing in the west (for some reason), I suppose that would make me right of the Republicans.

 

I am a Nationalist and wholeheartedly believe that both parties serve globalist corporate interests before the interests of the American people. Washington D.C. as a whole is in need of a good purge.

Indeed they do need one!

 

As for me, I'm more moderate. I have views that I like on the left, views I like on the right. I'd go more into detail but I'm tired.

I am agree with fascism that country should work only to their own people, and here i'm agree with british politician Nigel Farage in will of closing border (not in will of brexit) and I hate Merkel of doing opposite. So, if I was american I would have voted for Trump.

I am a Republican conservative

 

I believe in owning guns.. I believe in free speech and WELL I JUST BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTIONS in general

 

I believe IN MILO! 

 

I believe in gun ownership as well. I also believe that NAFTA is terrible (just look at Carrier and Rexnord, both moving jobs out of my town to Mexico because NAFTA made things cheaper down there). Just do things responsibly.

 

Good to know there's people who have similar views here.

Def. on the left side. I would call myself democratic, but in my opinion people shouldn't be forced to do certain things, even if they are helpful, they should want to, almost as an obligation to the people living in their country. 

We should be trying to help anyone and everyone when we are able. 

For example, yes taxes should be raised higher on the rich, but if people were just more generous in general then we wouldn't have to do that and help could be more direct instead of just a sum put together and spread around. 

 

But 100% pro LGBTQIA, 100% pro-choice, 100% separation of church and state, etc.

As much as politics irritate me, in the end I most likely would be considered a Democrat. Most republican candidates that I have seen for any election have been terrible people that dd not care about the common person so I tend to never share their views on anything.

As I wish government functions to be limited to just police and military, I expect I would consider most political parties in the world to be too "Left". That is the extent to which government interferes with the economy. If we speak socially, then I think it is a non-factor for me. A party can have such Conservative views that their standards match that of Sumeria or someone can be so anti-Conservative that their views make "Progressives" of today look Medieval in comparison; the crucial factor here for me is that the government does not come about dictating how people are to act (except in matters of property) through law; social standards are to evolve by the people themselves spontaneously.

While I am registered as Libertarian, I'm neither left of the Democrats nor right of the Republicans.

I politically identify as an anarchist (or if you don't like that term, libertarian socialist or left-libertarian work too).

I'm a national populist, so I don't really fit in with either party. I share some common ground with progressives on issues such as healthcare, worker's rights, and the environment. I agree with conservatives on border security, immigration, and gun rights.

I am left of the Democratic party. I have always been to the left, but I have slid further left as the years have passed by. It was really me growing up being very anti-sexism, anti-racism, and anti-homophobia (later anti-transphobia, as well, when I learned that trans people were a thing). That also led me to eventually come to reject Christianity, which also drove me further left, since the US right wing generally believes in Christian supremacy in government (except there are also right wing nonbelievers - Which confuses the hell out of me, but, I'm not daft enough to think that everyone that is a nonbeliever is a good person).

Then over the last couple of years beginning to experience chronic illness which has made working hard and finding a job difficult, and seeing how poorly the government and jobforce is set up to help people like me find a place, has also driven me further to the left. Of course, I always had empathy for people who were experiencing chronic illness and/or are disabled, but I thought the government was more put together to help them than this.

Then...Finally, COVID-19 has driven me even further to the left again. Watching incompetent right-wing leadership mishandle the pandemic from the very beginning (I know not everyone on the right is going to be like Trump and call it a hoax and completely ignore it, but I'll just say the right-wing certainly wasn't making loud enough noise fighting that idiot), and now watching that same leadership, including my own governor, talk about opening up everything right when it is peaking (May 1st is the peak in my state, and my own fool of a governor is going along with Trump), and seeing all of the people saying that the economy is more important than hundreds of thousands of lives... Well, that certainly does it. I am with the left.

I'm British but would say in terms of American politics I'd proably be around the Republican Party, here in the UK I would say I'm to the right Conservative party but they're more centerist than right.
