    Do most republican wow players play alliance?

    just curious to know, are most republicn party supproters that play wow play as alliance?

    if you are a republican supporter what faction do you play? if you support the democrats what faction do you play?

    even if you support neither, which party do you identrify with more and what faction do you consider your faction even though you may playboth

    Wait, as alliance I share my faction with a majority of republican supporters ?!? That's it, time to faction change.









    Joking, horde is filth.

    Well based on previous presidential polls, only about 15-20% support the republican party, and the rest support the democrats/other.

    And considering it's usually always about a 50/50 ratio of horde to alliance in polls, I would say party affiliation doesn't affect what faction someone plays.

    Well lets see, I'm a brit who supports no political party over here, so... none.

    Really, I know what your saying, you think all alliance are the white bread, white picket fenced family men and women like something cut from the waltons. Odds are, most wow players don't give a dam about politics that much for it to effect the vote.

    Its like people assume all gay male wow players would only roll blood elves because they are effeminate, but that's garbage, orc and tauren here buddy!

    I wouldn't call myself a Republican, but I suppose if I had no choice but to align with either that or Democrat, I'd be Republican. But no, I play Horde. I'm sorry to say, but I'm afraid I don't see the connection you're trying to draw from this.

    I'm a democrat, and I prefer the Horde.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    I suppose.
    The orcs seem socialist with a high spirit for the motherland.
    The undead seem national socialists (NSDAP yes).
    The tauren have got to be a people who share with each other.
    The trolls are the same.
    The blood elves are.. capitalists? I don't know. Shouldn't the magic get rid of any food need? Then everyone can focus on their own things.
    Goblins are pure capitalists, perhaps a good candidate for republican voters.

    Alliance, well I bet humans can be as diverse as real humans.

    I never thought that your political views would tie in with which faction you would play as. I still think that it's a little silly to think that it would affect your playing style.

    The Alliance monarchy is so much better than the Horde fascism.

    But seriously, why would being republican affect my choice in faction? Are you trying to say republicans are more likely to pick humans because you're making the mis-guided assumption that we're all racists biggots?

    The title of this thread hurt me...

    Republican Horde. Idk why you thought otherwise.
    It's pronounced "Dur-av-ian."

    This is the weirdest question I've seen in a while. I do not fit any suggested profiling above. Either I'm an outlier or I am part of the standard distribution that disproves that question.

    People need to stop trying to connect gaming with real life. Half my toons are males while the other half is (you guessed it) females. Does this mean I'm a hermaphrodite?

    Why is it whenever religion or politics are brought up, some people get so uptight about it...? I'm sure he's just curious and I'm not seeing how this negatively affects you. You were the one who saw the title and chose to come into this thread anyway.

    I enjoy looking at things from a different lens:

    How many raiders approach the game from a very 'Republican' perspective? AKA, the whole 'welfare epics' argument? Especially in those from the old-school EQ crowd, I always caught a huge whiff of anarcho-capitalism when hearing them discuss raid prep, loot distribution, etc.

    As for myself, I am a Libertarian. I was a Republican, until it became apparent that the party had no interest in staying relevant when it comes to social freedoms. I play both factions, but mainly Alliance. It's where my friends are =)

    You mean that he could have just said 'Libertarian'?

    There's nothing contradictory in thinking you can balance a budget and let gays marry at the same time.
