What's your political stance and one belief you have that's typically associated with the other side?

Good question. It will reveal that everyone has their own beliefs and does not cator their entire selves to one party in every way. I am "Center - Right" or "Lean Right". But I disagree with a few things but to an extent; not completely. I think we should spend less on the military and stop participating in wars or issues unrelated to our country. Many conservatives believe abortion is literally murder (which it technically is), but I believe there must be some exceptions. One reason is because conservatives also believe in freedom of choice. Where is that freedom of choice if you are being fully restricted from having an abortion if your life is at risk? Get what I mean? There needs to be some balance.

Republican turned constitutionalist. I don't call myself Republican. But I tend to vote for Republican because they're generally the lesser of two evils.

I'm one of the few conservatives who wasn't really against ACA though. I don't think the average American stops and thinks about how many Americans the healthcare industry employs. Not just Healthcare workers but pharmaceuticals and insurance companies combined. I'm a believer in lassez Faire as much as the next guy. I believe gov't should be small except in such cases where the free market is unable or UNWILLING to Regulate itself.

I am left-of-center... more or less a liberal but not fucked-in-the-head because I'm 60 and have been around the block a few times.

However, I don't believe in estate taxes because the passing of wealth between generations is a critical way to help your descendants prosper or survive. Any devout real old-school Republican with money would be jacking off and electing me President if eliminating estate taxes was part of my platform. Immigrants would want that too.

This is a very good question, by the way. Kudos to you for asking it - especially at 17.

I'm somewhat between conservative and libertarian; I am pro-choice, I support legalization of Marijuana, abs I'm anti war. (Both parties are hijacked by military industrial complex, but still).

Left sided.

I do think transgenderism is a mental illness.

Socialism to survive, capitalism to thrive.

Healthcare is a human right.

Criminal justice system is garbage.

Systematic racism does exist against black people, but I don’t believe in treating them like they can do no wrong. Equality is equality.

That women really be on some bullshit. Having standards for a woman (No onlyfans, not having a million bodies) isn’t insecure or jealous.

Constitutional Libertarian. Meaning as long as it does not violate the Constitution, any one else's Constitutional rights, and does not get funding through taxpayer dollars, then have at it.

With that being said, I am also of the opinion that, for the sake of true equality, that women should also be required to sign up for the draft.

I am in the normal camp. The other side is the crazy camp.

[KostasKouvalis]

Moderate Conservative

I'm not sure if it's necessarily associated with the other side, but I despise military people.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I'm a center left as I believe in traditional liberal values and ideals.

[Damian69]

Left, but I don't really agree with cancel culture

[abc3643]

Cancel culture is on every side.

[Damian69]

@abc3643 Well yes, but I've seen more of it come from the left in my experience

[abc3643]

That's because you're 17 and don't realize the magnitude of cancel culture and how long it's been around.

For instance, ever heard of "book bans"?
That's cancel culture too.

pen.org/.../
Notice what's being banned...

========
Among the 1,648 unique banned book titles in the Index,
674 banned book titles (41 percent) explicitly address LGBTQ+ themes or have protagonists or prominent secondary characters who are LGBTQ+ (this includes a specific subset of titles for transgender characters or stories—145 titles, or 9 percent);

Guess who wants to do all that book-banning?
Hint: It's not "the left".
