I’ll go first. I’m pretty close to the middle, but I find myself ever so slightly leaning right at least economically. But man, conservatives suck at handling schools. I tried unions and that sucked too, they just took my money and did nothing. But still, the right has no solutions for schools being crappy in the US
I consider myself notably libertarian, rather than left or right, but I find myself siding with conservatives in many ways. I think the left is has good intention, but often employ their intentions in unreasonable ways.
But I digress, the right often gets transgenderism, or more accurately, social constructs wrong. There's a reason many gay men who are closer to flamboyant than they are manly will typically gravitate towards girls. It's because socially, biology isn't the only consideration as to what someone is.
There was one example (of many) on a show called Survivor recently where it was beneficial for a mildly flamboyant gay man to side with the men in the game, but he laughed at the idea (not derisively) and sided with the women regardless. This man sees himself more akin to women as he does men, and I'm inclined to believe many men see him that way, too. Because socially, it's not as simple as "he's a man." Most men would consider him to be more socially apart of the "female" group than they would they "male" group. There isn't an explicit term for exactly what that makes him, but it's very clear as to what he is socially.
That beint said, more or less anything can be a social construct. And some things in my opinion have more merit than others, but conservatives are often wrong about gender and social construct in that regard.

I was mostly in the middle, but a the radical left-wing group of the democrat party has taken over and this woke thing is completely insane!
I have a question for you. You specifically mentioned that the republicans are really bad at handling schools. How do you feel about how the democrats are handling them now? Over the last several decades, the democrats have managed to replace nearly all the teachers with hyper-woke ones. You literally will not find a teacher in American public schools that is not a woke liberal. This did not happen by accident. The teachers unions are all far-left. If you go on twitter, Facebook, or tiktok right now, you will see these teachers posting videos, bragging about indoctrinating elementary school students and "turning them into future revolutionaries". They are taking these small kids on field trips to gay bars, and bringing drag queens into schools. They are taking them into getting sex changes and teaching them about anal sex. They are teaching kids how to pole dance and how to tip a stripper with dollar bills. This should not be a partisan issue. I know many real , non-woke democrats that are disgusted and horrified at this!I believe the ideal relationship is between a biological man and woman so that is what conservatives believe but I believe a mother that does not want a child should be allowed to abort because I’ve heard stories of mothers beating their child’s until their backs were bloody every day because they were angry they had an extra mouth to feed and I’ve heard of guys molesting daughters they did not want to have. If a woman hates children, better she abort than that the child is abused all her life by a mother who hates her.
I lean left but acknowledge the left sucks enormous donkey balls when it comes to messaging. For example the idea that the left fails at the economy is a lie that the left just has done nothing to reign in: the fact is over the last 40 years democrats have created orders of magnitude more jobs and republicans have created orders of magnitude more debt. Those are just the numbers. The stock market does tend to take off (and inevitably crash) under republicans, but 90% of the market is owned by like 3% of the population, so that is by no stretch "the economy." Democrats usually stabilize the market with the slow and steady growth its supposed to be there for. But the right tries to spin this as failure compared to the unstable but large gains made under republicans - the left makes almost no effort to counter this narrative with any messaging of their own, and I find that a tad infuriating.
I'm 100% fully in the middle. A Centrist. Although I hate the radical left more for being the hypocritical, fascist, bigoted/woke piece of sh*t hypocrites that they are.
Both sides get many things wrong. The right pretends to be about free speech and expression and limited government, until you mention abortion and suddenly they want Washington to control women's pussies and force people into being parents, even though it's none of their f*cking business and has nothing to do with them.
And the left... Pretty much EVERYTHING the left advocates for, right now. For as idiotic as the right/conservatives can be, I'd call them my friends compared to the far-left/woke crowd, who are usually far worse. At least conservatives are generally nicer and more tolerant and can agree to disagree.
We both are fairly close to the middle, and I tend to vote on both sides of the political aisle. I probably lean a little more left historically, but damn do Democrats like the tax the bejesus out of everybody. I do not like handouts from taxpayer money. The student loan bill is a good example. Just buying votes in my opinion.

I just don't lean either way...
I'm not partisan, I don't even vote, have never done it
so, having no horse on the race every election... I can always see what both sides get wrong, very wrong, absolutely wrong... and also the few things they get almost right
either way doesn't matter much to me... politicians (of either side) are not for the people, they are there to serve themselves first, second and also third... lol Erm... I'm a staunch centrist.
In your case, though, the USA's political landscape is badly fucked and you've got to be a political schizophrenic. The mad right idealising Nazi philosophies and the nutty left idealising crazy cat lady absolutes
I'm really in the middle and I always want to vote based on the candidate's position on the issues so my votes were normally distributed across the party platforms. Lately I have been so dismayed by the hypocrisy in the Republican party and the blatant support of Trump's lies that my votes have gravitated towards the Democrats (although in some cases very unwillingly).
I lean left in regards to how they see healthcare, free public education, higher tax rates on the wealthy. Also I think there's more than one religion and they should not intermingle into politics. Meaning your religious views can't be dictated to me in the form of policy changes.
I'm a libertarian. I don't care if the trans couple protects their marijuana field with a machine gun, as long as they are not assaulting the person or property of another.
And government-run schools are a very, very expensive dumpster fire and should be abolished or at the very least, since less than 1% agree with me on that, be given genuine competition.I used to be a moderate independent but the democrats have gotten so crazy that I am a conservative. If JFK and Martin Luther King were alive today they would be conservatives too.
I am a conservative and the Republicans have abused the LGBTQ community for years.
I am not an LGBTQ advocate, but I would never advocate the abuse they've endured.- https://www.youtube.com/embed/yuTMWgOduFM
The Left gets common people and solidarity with them wrong.
I don't know, school choice is a pretty good solution to crappy schools. Competition is always good. Dismantling the Federal Department of Education is also good. Our school performance has steadily declined since it was established.
I am of the extreme right and I disagree with marriage and traditionalism, since the man does not obtain any benefit, the man must be emancipated.
I lean more towards the right due to the fact of the unfounded accusations by the far left and when the right responds asking the left to be more specific and provide a source you always hear crickets or they censor the actual facts
We got foreign policy wrong for so many years. Iraq war and the whole Afghanistan thing was a total screw up and too many of our soldiers died for no good reason.
I don’t think you know how the education system works in America.
It has absolutely nothing to do with educating people. Nothing.
I dislike politics neither side gets my vote because all sides are filled with assholes and liars. They all say pretty words but mean fuck all.
most of the left thinks that there are hella different genders
