Beer. Pocket protectors. Bacon and chocolate. The Green Party. And others supporting my sense that I don't quite fit in anywhere and just live my life.

Indeed. And while you are at, make sure to vote third party, just so that it might happen one day.

Heather, I'm thinking the Radical Left-Wing Forlorn Rejectionist Party is for you. The RLWFRP (pronounced: "Beer") is the political arm of the Chicken Egg Sexing religion. Its noble platform basically consists in rejecting all current political parties and movements while getting drunk and professing undying love for your drinking buddies.

Good thing you pronounce it "beer", cuz phonetically it's basically a fart.

My political party is "independent".

Here's my pitch:

Your vote is your private property. Make candidates sweat for it. If you don't, you're not serious about your vote.

I've often mused on RF how I don't feel as if I fit in with any one political platform. So here's a very very brief rundown about some of my views and what I think are important.

- I am a bisexual woman who is also polyamorous. I am very far outside of the cultural norm of "one-man-one-woman" marriage model, but I do not wish to be discriminated from housing, employment, etc, and wish for the same rights as everybody else who fits into that model.

- I am also a business owner who makes money and has been creating employment opportunities for others. I like seeing the business grow and seeing how many more people my for-profit business can offer for people. I do not wish to be limited in this growth. If I can offer a fair price, fair wages, and can deliver above and beyond, I would like to bring that kind of impact on people in our community as much as I can.

- I have been in weapons training of various sorts, and I prefer having the freedom to be able to be trained in defending myself if need be.

- I homeschool my daughter and have sent our sons to public school. As much as I see benefits in both, my preference is freedom to access educational services as well as freedom to assembly for education, apprenticeships, and internships for my children. I have a dim view in the standards expected that children should just be able to read and follow orders first. I am of the view in the importance of the scientific method, inquiry, gathering data, and peer review...in the importance of the arts, of creative exploration, of compositional skills, and of effective expression of such perspectives.

- I am a feminist who believes in a woman's inalienable right to make decisions on the health and state of her uterus, of deciding her own sexual autonomy and who is allowed into her body and when she allows it, and of being given the same respect when she speaks her mind.

- I believe in a secular nation that creates it's legislations, executive orders and law enforcement, and it's justice system based on humanist ethics and morals. Ones not based on superstition, or on traditions simply for traditions' sake, but on objective study in earth and social sciences that gives the best evidence for what is good for a free-speaking society to last indefinitely (at least until the planet is ended from a cosmic alien occurrence and not from our own idiotic egoistic desires).

Anybody want me to register with their party?

I'll take bribes too.

Independent

Pros
-You can be gay, strait, bisexual, transgeder or anything else you want to be

-You get to think for yourself on issues rather than being told your position by your political party or media

-You are welcome to change your mind and no one within the party will backlash on you

-Diversity is encouraged

-Brownie recipes free on the internet

Cons

-You have to think for yourself instead of being spoon fed your opinion

-Critical thinking and scrutiny are skills you have to work on or you'll be a bad independent

-Brownie recipes are free on the internet even if you didn't join but I thought it sounded nice.

I've been independent for a while now, since after I voted for Clinton back in 1992 and felt he and his administration threw queers under the bus for ensuring DOMA was put into effect. That put me on equal grounds with the Republican Party for their overall stances on queer rights, as well. Both parties have given me ample opportunities to despise their platforms. Social conservatives will applaud my decision to give birth and be a full-time mom, then stab me in the back for my speaking out for marriage equality. Democrats will applaud my speaking out for minority rights, then stab me in the back for my decision to homeschool my daughter without all kinds of regulation.

I have voted Democrat, Republican, and Libertarian depending on who is the best choice for the office they're running for. I admittedly have not voted for anybody in the Green Party.

Yeah, still undecided.

I dont have a political party though i usually vote for the SPD(Social Democratic Party of Germany) in the local german municipal elections.

In the last austrian legislative election i voted for the austrian pirate party because... well if you are austrian and you dont like the two major parties that are basically one party and the other smaller parties that are often beyond crazy you give your vote to a party like them.

In the last austrian presidential elections i voted for Fischer because iam not crazy and he aint that bad... for a SPÖ guy.

Oh and european elections. I voted(yeah iam actually one of those people to use my vote during that election, iam just crazy like that) on the german list because the austrian one is a mess. I think i voted for the Free Voters because.... why not.



Would i try to convert you to one of those parties? Not in a thousand years.
