Bridging the Gap Between Believers and Skeptics
One of my favorite things about this website is that it gives you direct access to label your religion directly. A few months ago I purposed an idea which the same thing could be done but for political status too, to the admins and moderators of this website. It was shot down because this is Religious Forums, not Religious and Political Forums, even though there are some users who frequent the political forums more often than the religious ones.
The purpose of this thread isn't to complain that I didn't get my way. There is that empty space under religion status that I thought could be used for this, but it's fine that it isn't. I still value this website greatly, and there are other ways to declare your political status other than an official status marker of such as part of your profile. One of them was to vote for and participate in a this thread I made several months ago. There's also this thread, which is also bookmarked.
But let's just say that my idea went through and you were allowed to have a politics status as part of your overall profile. What would you have typed in your political status, if anything?
To clear the area as to my political positions I would probably have "Centrist" or "Federalist" in my status. I side with the Republican Party more often than not, but if the Reform Party were more viable I'd probably lend my vote to that instead of the Republicans. I refused to vote for Trump for President so I voted for the Libertarians instead for President, Jo Jorgenson and before that Gary Johnson.
(By the way, I am not trying to violate rule two, the topic of this discussion is to discuss different political statuses, not the argue over the moderation or decisions of the staff here on this forum. I am fine that my idea was shot down. I just want to use this space as a way of communicating the same idea, in thread format rather than profile format.)
