Generations and Politics (poll)

[Dragon]

I'm posting this thread out of curiosity, mostly. It's asking for your generation (defined by birth year) and your self-identified politics (liberal or conservative, with another category that says "other" without generational choice). If you're a libertarian, a Communist, a neo-Nazi, or anything else that really shouldn't be called liberal or conservative, please answer "other." I would have divided that by generation, too, except it would have required 12 choices and there's a max of 10.

I'll have more to say after some good results have accrued.

Not a good poll. I'm a boomer, a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. So I can't participate.

 

[Old Rocks]

By your posts, I would see you as conservative.

Not so sure about that; I can't recall her making any posts on social issues, so she may be nailing it.

It depends on the purpose of the poll - which isn't entirely clear.

As I was putting it together, I said to myself that I'd better have an "other" category 'cause dblack may want to answer the poll.

I'd rather not say what the purpose is at this point as it might bias the results. I'll make it clear down the line.

What kind of 'conservative'? Social or fiscal?

 

[Dragon]

If you are not both an economic AND a social conservative, you should probably answer "other."

That's not exactly overcoming my reluctance to classifying myself alongside neo-nazis.

K. Thanks. I voted other.

You see everyone who doesn't march lock step with your messiah as a 'conservative'. Says more about you than them.

 

[Douger]

Boomer (born 1943-1960) and Bolivarian Socialist.

 

[DiamondDave]

Born 1969... I guess you would consider it conservative, but more along the lines of a constitutional purist or strict constitutionalist

Just for clarity, I answered the poll myself Boomer (born 1956) and liberal.
