Are you more liberal or conservative?

I'm just wondering how much the liberals outnumber conservatives at this forum.
Truthfully, neither....
I'm an anti-authoritarian anarcho-capitalist.
However, that option isn't on the voting ballot so -- I just pick whoever seems more right at the time.

Do you prefer Trump over Hillary?Truthfully, neither....

Hillary wasn't even a choice, and Gary Johnson was just voting for Bozo. Jill Stein wasn't much better than Bozo, let's just say she's a Wizzo...
Anyway, if Bernie had not been cheated I'd have had something to think about, but since he was I had nothing to even debate -- Hillary is simply representative of everything wrong with this country. I think it says a lot that Trump even had a chance to win, as I don't consider him a perfect choice either. I was basically forced to vote for Trump because any other vote represented a selection of other choices I found terribly un-agreeable.All that said, I find Trump weak on environmental issues and a little too gungho with military use BUT I can deal with that a lot more than blatant corruption, at least he's not trying to screw us.

That certainly is a unique statement I've never heard. So was Trump liberal in your opinion?
No, Trump is a serious progressive. He wants to make lots of big sweeping changes in the name of progress.

Classical liberal with anarcho-communist leanings. I tend to vote Democratic. I would never vote Republican for president. Voted for Hillary and think that Trump is a narcissistic, infantile, lunatic and a sex predator.
I'm firmly in the liberal camp. I align with them on social issues. I believe that government oversight and regulation is necessary to prevent the worst excesses of capitalism. I also believe that government run social programs have the ability to be more efficient than their private counterparts. (The problem, of course, is corruption.)
I do not think the Democrats live up to these ideals always, but at least they claim that they are where they want to go.

More of a liberal.
Isn't that a tautology?

That's a hard one for me...I identify as neither.
I am socially a Conservative. Not in the sense that I support the enforcement of sexual morality and whatnot, but I am a Nationalist and heavily opposed to the general mentality of liberals.
Fiscally, I am a liberal. I am a Socialist, I think that the government should restrict the market heavily in the interest of the people. I also have a great deal of left libertarian views.
The whole "Liberal or Conservative" dichotomy is too polarizing for me. I find it hard to understand why people find it so impossible to stand far left with some issues and far right in others. People are sheep and would rather epitomize a preset archetype, like "Democrat" or "Republican".

It's true, most people you get to know have a whole range of nuanced views on different subjects, they don't fall into the left/right boxes we hear about in media every day . - It's the political system that forces people apart, to join one team or the other- and so we tend to put polarized politicians and policies in power that don't reflect most of us..
I don't think I understand your position at all.
How can you be in favor of heavy government restriction on the market and be a libertarian?
What does nationalism have to do with social conservatism?
What is the "general mentality" of liberals that you oppose?
Hillary is center-right.
