What's Your Political View?

I'm a democrat, but I think that the huge population of the USA has made the current government style not work. It'd be better for us if we had a Parliament-style government like England.

 

anarchist [I could quantify my views further but rlly, why bother].

 

Fuck politics, a greedy corrupt way to create a view of what the U.S. should look like, and why can't democrats and republicans can along and take same views, mix em both just leave out god in politics and we would a-o.k. but instead we go to war with campaigns and media in order to make one side look better than the other

 

I'm a liberal, leaning on the edge of socialism. I will be a registered Democratic party voter when I turn 18, though.

 

Its rubbish. Politics just make people angry and argue over things like god and money and I'm tired of it. I avoid all politics and just live my life as best I can.

 

Well I have to say I kind of disagree with a few points you've made, although they are valid points and should definitely be considered, I probably just don't think the same as you. For a start I know that people are born with different intellectual abilities, some stronger than others, and of course they should not be treated as less valuable. But I have always felt that as long as a person is free of any disabilities that will prevent them from being able to learn things that we can then they can do anything they want, how smart they were born has no effect on this. It just depends on whether or not someone is willing to learn just because someone may be born smarter doesn't mean they automatically have the right to become a doctor, engineer or a scientist. So people who I have met who aren't able to do this kinds of jobs usually didn't try as hard at school and haven't pushed themselves hard enough to develop the necessary skills, which is completely their fault. So I don't feel like natural ability for anything impacts how good a person can become, if they work hard enough they can do anything (within reason). This of course does not mean they are invaluable they still do important jobs, but most of the time they can be easily replaced so are seen as less valuable and obviously do not earn as much, which to me is completely fair.

Another point I disagree on is that capitalism in markets is bad, I think it's a wonderful thing. To me if a lot of companies have an equal share in the market they are not going to innovate and try to compete with each other because they know their efforts won't really gain them anything to them all they want is for people to keep buying the same products or services allowing the company to spend as little as possible on research and selling new products. Whereas if we have one major or a few major companies dominating, they are going to keep pushing until they truly have control over the market which will see much more innovation and competitive pricing. I kind of dread to think where we would be without competition sometimes. A great example of this is Google, a company who actively drives the market forward often times causing their competitors playing catch up. For example, Google Chrome if it weren't for this internet browsers would be no where the standard they are today in my opinion.

I think I should stop now, I could go on for hours on my opinions on things, but I do see some good in what you're saying. For example I also like Canadian values and I think a lot of people could learn from them. I think it's mainly about keeping a balance in society as I don't feel that any one ideology is perfect in every aspect.

 

The closest party I can think of that best represents my views from Canada, seeing as you're in Toronto area, would be the Canadian NDP.

I use a Canadian party so you personally, WooEEE, can have an idea of where I stand politically.

 

Humanist anarchist.

Anarchist in the founding fathers sense of the term - if the government doesn't do something you like, tar and feather them. They would be defined as anarchists in the classic sense of the term. Benjamin Franklin said he was afraid his dream would disappear as people became more complacent, rather than fighting (literally) if something they didn't agree with happened. Those are my heroes and political leaning. I'm a screenwriter. Films and words are my weapon. If you watched 'Anonymous' about Shakespeare, you know how powerful a political tool entertainment can be. If I was in Bradley Manning's position, I would have leaked the information. I believe in America as America was founded, not the America as it is today. A land FOR the people BY the people.

Humanist - I'm a bisexual adoptee from a poor biological hispanic (?) family from another country into a rich adoptive American white family. I am completely between the lines. I don't view myself as any singular sexuality, race or economic standing, or country. I am an alien and view things as such. I just believe in equality.

 

My political views are feminist. Too tired to explain what that means right now.

 

I am a moderate Republican.

I'm more liberal on social issues (aside from abortion), but agree far more with conservatives than liberals on economic policy.

 

Nice.....real nice. Gorgeous latino looks combined with white money....bisexual.....and a creative...seems like you've hit jackpot: best of all worlds.....you must be beating gay gays off with a stick. And the right ideas politically too.

 

I identify as an anarcho-communist.

 

Liberal Democrat. I used to be the most right wing kid, but as time got on, I became less Stereo-typical 'MURICA! to Hippie shouting in the streets; "SHARE THE WEALTH! FREE LOVE! YEAH!"

 

Anti-nationalist centrist. I believe in a Scandinavian model, and in an Australian republic and reforming our parliament to be non-Westminster. I'm not radical, but I detest the status quo of politics and society in Australia. I am also a feminist, and believe in the value of family and community.

lol....prepare for ten years of nauseating hell under Abbott....where we will have to listen to Bible lessons from the PM on "family values" and the rest.

 

Even though I don't live in the USA, I would pick Democrats.
Here in South Africa, I am happy with the way politics works and that this is a democratic country x]

 

I'm preparing for a long series of rights revocations. :tantrum: Stupid Abbott, he's more in the pocket of the Catholic Church than Cardinal Pell. :dry:
