There has been some discussion recently about why the board is so liberal. I believe there we (collectively) have moved quite a bit over the years and the purpose of these polls is to verify how much.
:sleepyjoe:I remember telling my friends who were interested in talking politics how can someone so unexceptional and frankly dim as W be the president.
And here we are.
Joe and W are Noble prize winners and Statesmen in comparison to the dumpster fire we current are saddled with.:sleepyjoe:

I guess I was a Clinton Democrat, moderately left. Pretty much progressive liberal bordering on socialist & open to anarchy at this point.20 yrs ago, i was a reality leftist. now, i'm a fantasy leftist
well, i was hoping my post would get more reaction than it did. we have broken our government with our fantasy politics and our spectral identification is become little more important than our avatarsI guess I was a Clinton Democrat, moderately left.

Ok, Boomer.Still opposing the conservative establishment and urging the Democrats to get younger and move leftward. And by younger, I mean bypassing you Genexers.
my childhood vision of myself was to one day live in a stone tower overlooking the wild west coast of Ireland, thinking great Wizard of Oz-type thoughts, squawked occasionally to temporality by my familiar to the ethos, a giant black crow on a gilded perch. i've always seen them as personae in some fashion. and the icon was one of the few unused from the limited set offered by Fanball when i joined themwhich reminds me....nevermore?

I don’t remember creating this alias but apparently I must havehuthut said:20 years ago I did not even bother to vote, I figured there was no real difference and Diablo II was very engrossing. I considered myself "fiscally conservative and socially liberal", you know, like a complete idiot.
This is where I am. I would consider myself a classic liberal which means I essentially have no political home at all right now.sho nuff said:Not sure they best represented me...but I had voted far more Republican 20 years ago. Voted W...never voted for Obama.
These days...the GOP had abandoned my beliefs for the most part and will take them a while to change.
The tea party played a huge role in losing me. My shift away from the GOP and to more of an independent/no party stance started well before trump.Republican- Independent. I voted all GOP straight across the board up until 2016. And while I now consider myself Independent I have never been thrilled about the Tea party direction the GOP took and what Trump has done to the party. But I can’t see myself voting for any Republicans that enabled Trump. I am also realistic enough to know that regardless of what happens in 2020 the party won’t turn to the likes of Romney or Kasich who I could support so my guess is I will voting Blue as my way of penalizing those Republicans.
This is pretty much exactly me. I’ve always floated in the middle. The most “left” I ever was was during Obamas first run, I got on the change train but only after McCain picked Palin. I pretty much felt like a man without a party for a long time now.Grew up pretty center/right. I graduated college in 2000, so I was definitely more center, maybe even a bit left. Then I got out into the real world, and I would consider myself a bit to the rightish, libertarian.
This describes me pretty closely as well - although I'm pretty far left on social issues (and just right of center on fiscal issues).20 years ago, I was 15 but pretty heavily conservative, even at the time. The past 2 decades have shown me that neither extreme is good, and my views have moved much closer to center on most issues.
Depending on the social issue, I'm all over the place.This describes me pretty closely as well - although I'm pretty far left on social issues (and just right of center on fiscal issues).
