I'm a registered Republican, but I vote across party lines. I consider myself a conservative because I believe Jefferson's dictum that the government which governs least, governs best. Unlike contemporary "conservatives", however, I believe that this means the government should butt out of sexual practices, marijuana use, and any kind of "moral legislation."

A frickin' men!!! No victim no crime. God will judge us if we did something "wrong".
 
Voted democratic past two elections, because there's no party for "my country regularly indulges in what would be considered human rights abuses in other countries, but are par for the course here because wE'rE tHe MoSt DeVeLoPeD"
 
As a member of the LGBTQ community, I find the entire right political wing incredibly hostile to my existence so I can't in good faith support anything Republican, even if I agree with fiscal conservatism. And while I'm also not wholly supportive of the left wing of politics (there's a lot of cancel culture going on that I frankly don't think is necessary) I do find the majority of their values align with mine so I'd say I'm probably Democrat...? That being said, the American political binary is odd and divisive.
 
I tend to be pretty conservative. I'd rather have a smaller government that stays out of my private life, for reasons many of us might be able to agree on.

Such a bummer that the republican side of the aisle has to be anti-LGBTQ. The binary thing sucks.
 
Well ZT I was a democrat sense I turned 18 and after all of these years being one I change my party to republican after the election . I was to embarrassed to be a democrat anymore . they are way to far to the left for me .
 
I choose the lesser of 20 morons trying to impose their own egos on everyone else. As some one once said “how do you know if a politician is corrupt? Easy, they are a politician”
 
Not really into politics too much, politicians seem way to angry all around. Fiscally I'm conservative and socially I'm VERY liberal if that matters.
 
Just looking at some of the posts here. There are a number of social conservatives. I find it odd that anyone into this would be. I'm a socialist democrat. I'm both socially and economically liberal.

Communism on paper seems like a utopia. just like socialisim. It works on a small scale when you have at most a few hundred people living in a commune voluntarily. When you try to expand that out to millions of individuals. Well, not every one is going to accept it because humans are not ants in a colony. So then how do you force some one to accepted it?.... why with force of course. The fallacies of communism as a functional mass government is in that it assumes that every one is ok giving up their personal freedoms for the greater good. The greater good on the whole translates to the good of the ruling elite and anything that goes against the ruling elite must be purged. Enter Mao Zedong or Stalin men who killed 100s of millions of people trying to force people to accept communism. Right now china is about to eat Hong Kong because they refuse to accept communism. While it might not be the goal of communisim it has always ended the same because humans are not selfless enough to implement it properly.

Anarchy is as equal to failure as Socialism and Communism because again with out rules and laws, human beings show the worst of them selves. While there really isn't an example of a functional anarchist govern't you only have to look to places like Mogedishu and really any Sub sharian African country, places where they are nearly lawless. Where they throw transsexuals off the tops of buildings and witch doctors skin virgins alive and eat them because it cures AIDS.... Remove the rules, have no repercussions to do bad things and humans become far worse than animals. At least when animals kill you or takes your meal its nothing personal. Again, I am sure it can work on a small scale but it fails miserably on a larger country sized scale.

why I am staunchly against communisim and socialisim not the idea but the way it must be practiced and enforced. Because I am a wild lover of freedom and space. I spent many years being forced to live a certain way under some one elses rules. In the tradtional sense yeah they are a beautiful concept and if people want to live like that on their own then more power to them. My gripes stems from the fact that I am extremely well off. I don't want to put a number on it but with all the current presidential candidates suddenly swinging hard left socialist(or at least their form of it anyway) it has put my way of life very much at risk and the way I see it I don't owe any body any portion of my land or money. Certainly not 60-70% of it.

It didn’t work in Jamestown in 1607. Not sure how far back we need to go for some people to finally get the picture.
 
Can I choose…. “Not really a fan of the circus, no matter which hat they wear” ??. Anything involving politics resembles a clown car with a flat tire… full of arguing, self serving children with no grasp of reality.
