we previously had this thread but it was lost in a sitewide crash. kind of fortuitous, given all the new people!

anyways, i’m interested in how you describe yourself politically but also why you do so, and/or how you came to the beliefs that you did. be as brief or lengthy as you want in answering that.

additionally, as a preface: i would like this to be a generally non-judgemental thread and i think this community is more than capable of that, so please respect that idea.[1] in general, you are not obliged to justify to myself or anyone else why you believe what you do.

  1. exceptions, obviously, go for bigotry or intolerant beliefs that would be otherwise incompatible with the community’s ethos. bluntly if you’re a transphobe or something like that this is not the community for you. ↩︎

    now that the website isn’t in five alarm fire mode i can inquire a little further of people, so!

    All I know or need to know is that the answer to me seems to be left of where we are currently at. Makes my voting easy.

    what would you say are the most significant policies right now where you think the consensus should be more to the left (especially that you think can eventually be accomplished with voting in the right people)? i’m sure i can guess most of these but sometimes people surprise me
