Just a general thought:
It seems to me that most people replying to this website are pretty politically liberal. Would most of you agree?

Nope.

Check out this thread.

I would say that, as you'd expect, most people here are pretty liberal when it comes to sexual behavior: if it's not hurting anyone, do it!

But I think we pretty much cross the spectrum otherwise. We've got fiscal conservatives, socialists, an anarchist here and there, pro-lifers, right-to-lifers, anti-gay, pro-gay, yadda yadda yadda. I think we're a pretty mixed bunch, but if your premise is true, I'm probably not likely to notice the liberal bias, being one myself.

I'd say it's natural, given the pretty much inherently sexually liberal nature of the TFP, that we'd skew at least a bit left if we're going to skew at all. You're just more likely to find sexually/socially liberal liberals than conservatives.

lol and I thought it was a majority in favor of the right wingers! I guess it is pretty even across the board. I think on some topics rather than agree with each other we just don't post if our side is wrong. Therefore making some of the more resent posts, which favor the left, seem like most of the posters were liberal.

Was that understandable? Sometimes forming coherent sentences is not as easy as I think it should be.

Sexually, we're all pretty liberal (else why would we be here?)

Other than that, we're all over the place.

The_Dude · 07-22-2003, 05:27 PM

liberals are more likely to speak out their views (more than conservatives that is)

Zeld2.0 · 07-22-2003, 10:06 PM

well i'd say the more vocal ones here would be conservatives (well mainly its the same posters so they're well known & labeled

)

sexually yeah pretty liberal considering you really wouldn't be here otherwise...

and just politics forum isn't a complete spectrum anyways, theres a lot of board posters who rarely/never come here so we really can't say

TawG · 07-23-2003, 05:44 PM

im an anarchist/socialist... dont know what you americans would call that.

07-23-2003, 06:46 PM

Liberal Communist is what I'd say.

But seriously, this board does have the full spectrum. Anything you name has probably been brought up and someone has defended it.

Fiscally conservative. Socially progressive.

What I find most silly today is the linkage of the neo-cons to modern x-tian tv evangelical greed heads and corporate welfare.

A most interesting combination.

2wolves:

I wouldn't mind conservatives so much if they were a little bit more like Pat Buchanan. Yeah, he can be a hateful little troll, but he's also a proper conservative: fiscally conservative, socially neutral, non-interventionist.

Today's "conservative" too often isn't. Unfortunately, today's "liberal" often suffers from the same malady.

Unrealistic? Socialism requires a strong controlling body to enforce the redistribution of wealth, so Anarchism (lack of government) really doesn't work with that, IMO.

^ true dat, anarchy can/will never happen, in its true form anyways. Jeez, watch slc punk.
