    Is this wrong??
    Nothing wrong with that at all!

    When I was younger, I was essentially a conservative. Now, I'm definitely neither. There are some points that I agree with on either side, and some that I hold up on my own that neither support.

    Labels are terrible, especially in politics.

    I can't stand the partisan garbage on either side , sadly no party exists that fits my view and ideals, so I wait for a day when a true 3+ party member comes forth and ...well, I think I will cure cancer, the common cold and ebola before all that happens here.
    you should like Trump, Ben, or Bernie then at least.

    at least in the sense none of them really follow the party, *only in name*

    as Ben is just a total outsider (HE is a doctor he can't run the country, and he is a race traitor!)
    Trump is neither liberal or conservative *if you look at his plans they mostly are a hybrid/Mix/shared views of both sides, which is why both parties hate him because he thinks like a business man, not a politician* (He is a looney toon who wants to destroy our country *if you listen to the brainwashing media controlled by both parties)
    Bernie is not a Democrat/liberal, he is a self defined socialist which the democrats do not want to be labeled as (CAUSE EVIL NAME CAN'T HAS THAT!)

    my order personally Ben > Trump > Bernie > The current monkeys in office getting nothing done but lining their own pockets and power plays and etc.....

    i will not vote for anyone not one of these three SIMPLY because a vote for ESTABLISHMENT will get us all no where......

    I find it easiest to hate everyone equally.

    i agree! mostly because republicans and democrats are two sides of the same coin, who play their base for votes.

    When I was growing up I was conservative. By my mid twenties I was a liberal. Now I use common sense and critical thinking and think both the right and left are nothing more than extremist being bought by the highest bidder and serve only to push their own self-serving agendas.

    Your a liberal progressive, there I saved you some time. Im a conservative but only because there isnt any party than it more to the right. If there was a party farther right I would join that party.

    Not sure why people think there's any remote resemblance of far left in the US. Seriously, if you claim you hate "the far left", you're just saying you hate The Green Party, cause that's the only far left party in the country. If you're interested in actual far left parties elsewhere, look at the EU. Democrats in the US are slightly left of center.

    So you have to have a party to identify with and identify with one that you seem to say isn't far enough right with you? This kind of thinking is why our political system is in the state it's in. People think they have to be part of a faction, even if it doesn't suit them entirely.

    When the us was formed they all still had kings in Europe, so maybe they are the ones that are too far left and our political system is balanced. They are so far left they cant even stem the flow of an invasion because they don't want to hurt peoples feelings.

    If you don't have a political party you will be ignored, they will take all your stuff and make you a slave.

    You do know you can vote for whoever you want without labeling yourself as one or the other right? I mean how hard is it to vote for people with the best ideas and not vote for parties? Pretty much with the state of our political system the best you can do is vote for the guy/girl that will suck the least overall.

    Are you authoritarian or libertarian? That is the new divide in Western society.

    Yes. As I said: British tradition.
    That is where they got this setup from.
