Beyond Party: Ideological Identification

[StorminNorman]

Since too often people are grouped "Republican" and "Democrat" over "Conservative", "Libertarian", "Moderate", "Liberal", "Socialist", etc. I thought I would make this thread.

Mainly because it's a great place to post this finding:

Conservatives more prominent than liberals in all 50 states

 

[Marlboro Man]

That's a misleading finding. Moderates outrank conservatives in many states, and the combined moderate and liberal percentages outrank conservatives in every state except for Alabama.

 

[Franklin Richards]

You put Socialist in there. Why not Fascist?

 

[Paradoxium]

Moderates don't exist.

They are what Democrats and Republicans like to call themselves.

 

[BlackestNight]

I exist in that grey area between libertarianism and liberalism.

 

[Paradoxium]

You put Socialist in there. Why not Fascist?

Same thing

 

[Franklin Richards]

heh

I say **** idealogical indentification. Why limit yourself.

The two party system demands it!!!!!!

Yet another reason to call that Sweet Home The Beautiful. (I liked the latter on the tags myself).

Ideological identification is interesting.

Since, I don't think it entirely translates to being a Democrat or a Republican. I think, for example, most Latinos are conservative. I think, for the most part, that Latinos ideaologies match alot of those you'd find with conservatives. But, I find that Latinos find themselves getting the cold shoulder from the Republican party and go Dem.

Just an example, is all.
