I'm a left-leaning populist and somewhat of a nationalist.
Agree with a lot of the above, but abortion when there is a heartbeat is murder.
I don't like a lot of American liberals and I don't identify as liberal because a lot of liberals (not saying all) are for Cancel Culture, certain types of censorship, hardline feminism and other things I do not agree with.
American liberals are also often obsessive about race to a degree I find odd, because they fire empty accusations of racism and sexism at people or things when they do not apply.
I do not like Affirmative Action based on race or gender. I think lower class, struggling Americans and people in general should be given a hand UP, not a hand OUT.
Some more radical libs also border on anti-capitalism, which I do not like. I believe in FDR or Nordic Style Social Democracy: Capitalism at the core/base, with a strong social safety net and sustainable social programs for poor people who are willing to put the work in and then give back when they do better.
I may go into more detail later, but for now that is enough. Basically, I am to the right of liberals on a few things, and to the left of liberals on others.
Also, a lot of libtards are just really annoying. But so are some conservatards.
I do not like the DemocRAT or GOPper parties. Actually, I HATE them. I think they hurt America.
I like what George Washington said about being cautious of political parties.

Let's me translate this all for you.
"I should be the arbiter of value and living wage." for green and pink.
"No kid should ever be worried about lightning strikes! So give me all your metal!" for light blue. Lightning strikes are actually more common and lethal and more feared by kids.
"People don't have a right for self-determination!" for dark blue. Basically all chronic homelessness are just a consequence of mental health problems. They shouldn't be abandoned, but sticking them in a home does nothing.
Equal pay is already a right and a functional right. And I agree that everyone should have equal right under the law, you don't agree with that though.
"Government should not regulate medicine when it comes to women and therefore no doctor should ever be liable for medical mal practice when it comes to women." for lime.
Red is beautiful in theory, but unenforceable. One day we will figure that out.
Brown is basically "slavery good".
Grey is "I should have a right to indoctrinate everyone with useless degrees. Also, the whole world should be enslaved to my overpaid activists."
I am no liberal but I agree with some of that, not all. I just don't like how liberals try to go about doing that stuff. They seem to want to do it the wrong way all the time.
Many things, even though I don't think they should happen. I don't think it is the governments job to fix the problem.
Ha, I accidentally voted "A!" But, shocking, of course I'm for these things! Only a person with a cramped soul who doesn't care about his country wouldn't.

these days "liberal" just means "not interested in becoming an authoritarian state," and people still freak out about it. Right wing infotainment has tried for decades to make it a "dirty word," and I guess they succeeded.
All these sound great but can you really expect a lot of this stuff to work well in a country of over 300M people, who already pay an insane amount of taxes that don't cover all of this?
A lot of this is anti-authoritarian, pro-welfare & anti-corruption. I am for all 3.
Besides the "free stuff" this is just libertarian thoughts. Liberals should be for small government & for the people.Liberal in the U. S. - and liberal elsewhere obviously does not mean the same.
Let's keep it like that, so I can feel better being liberal myself.You know me man I’m not liberal in today’s day and age, I’m classically liberal like the founders but I disagree with neo liberals
If you believe in freedom. You're a conservative ☺.
Yes, but nothing like you nor like many of the modern American ones.
I don't believe with all of those. But nitpicking to prove you're one way or the other proves something is wrong with your side.
I believe all of that... so?
