Poll: US Political Party?

I apologize for only putting 6, but to be honest, these are the only parties I think are major.
I even threw in a few that aren't so major but have mild support.
Also, no flame wars and follow the rules of this board.

So what are your reasons for choosing the party you did?

 

Yes, but I thought I would post this poll anyway, rather than including every major political party in the world.
And underage people should still understand the differences of the main parties....
I can't vote and yet I still made this poll.

 

Well I was formerly a Libertarian, but now I am a democrat.

I only joined their ranks, because my parents are with them all the way. I understand there reason for choosing this party. The democrats most likely favor the underdog. They favor the middle class and anything below that from what I have seen.

I remember the Clinton years as something great, no problems around my area or anything. Not too many democrats make it out into the political seats of presidency. They are mainly left out and reside within the judicial branches of government. But nontheless I am a for the charitable good.

 

I hate all of the political parties in the US. It's all popularity now. There is nothing great about any of the parties, though I can't stand it when a democrat opens their mouth.

I usually side with the republicans though for sanctity of life and all. That's about it though.

 

US elections have come to the point where the only people you can vote for are the corrupt and slightly less corrupt. The roles change parties often though both are always present, but either way, there hasn't been a really amazing president for a long time IMO.

 

The last amazing one was Abraham Lincoln.

 

US elections have gone off by a way of voting for who "You hate less" nowadays instead of someone running this place towards progress and stability.

Recently Obama was left with a butt load of debt to pay off and to top it off with inflation. Just check out the unemployment rate, it sucks big time. I find it very difficult to imagine how a first world country could keep up with the world under all this stress.

Political parties seem to perform all their duties, but the money is not used very wisely.

 

Its Kinda Hard to put yourself in just one party really i put libretaraian but im also an anti federalist constituionalist lol god i cant spell

 

If I were to be American, I lean more towards the Democratic party. THAT SAID, so many liberals are idiot college-age idealists whose ideas are just as fucktarded as their Republican counterparts.

 

That does not stop them from trying, they have had many candidates.

 

I could not agree more.

 

And just as many Republicans are closed-minded bigots with no real idea of the precepts your country was founded upon (like the fact that it wasn't supposed to be a religious state), brainwashed into supporting business interests that see people as a measure of potential profit and military force as an appropriate course of action.

I mean, fuck, that healthcare debacle was a prime example of how big a mess that is. Social healthcare is a given nearly everywhere in the world, yet you had the Republicans cock-blocking the change both to discredit the Obama administration and to appease their private healthcare masters who are filling their pockets with what are essentially bribes. On the other hand you had people on the Democratic side who had almost no clue how the fuck the system was supposed to run and cater for three hundred million people yet backed it anyway because they were on the Obama bandwagon. That said, the original idea put forward (and which was subsequently branded as "COMMUNISM!" despite the fact that broadly socialist policies aren't the same as Marxism and are in fact beneficial to the people they say they represent) was quite alright how it was.

 

Yes, the healthcare fiasco was ridiculous. People opposed it because it was "socialist". Others favored it because it was Obama.
This is the exact same way the elections in 2008 went. Ridiculous, to say the least.

 

Come back Ronald Reagan,all is forgiven.......

 

Exactly. Looking at it now that I have a better understanding of it, I see that it is not communism, but many people would say that it is...

I like living in the US, but the political system is shit along with the leaders and everything else.

 

The media's primarily right-wing, and during the Cold War there was an attitude of "Better Dead Than Red" wherein a lot of propaganda was focused on staying resolutely to the right because socialism was said to be the same as Marxism. It's that fear machine. A lot of legislation was able to be passed solely due to the fact that it made the US look more capitalist.

They've quite literally never been taught the real definition of socialism as it applies to a left-wing government.

 

....
I was actually quoting the words used by voters here. Yes, even news outlets assume that Obama can be a "socialist communist nazi".
I know there is a difference.
