What are the differences in your political leanings or do you toe the line of your leaders?

I just pick the one that checks the most boxes that align with my ideals.

I owe no party allegiance, loyalty, or anything to be frank. The idea that people register themselves to a political party is upsetting to me.

I don't see how anyone could think it is their responsibility to "toe the line" and, frankly, I find the idea disgusting.

@mrbojangles25: there's no need to be upset about registering with a party. It's just an indicator of which coalition checks more of your boxes than the other one, and in some states allows you to help choose primary winners.

Almost no one 100 percent supports everything their party does. That's not what they're for.

That only matters if you ignore what a politician/party is advocating and vote letter no matter what. Registering in a party allows you to vote for the primary winner. You cannot vote in my state unless you are registered in that party. So you get NO say in the outcome. In the general, you can vote for who you best feels will do the job and is aligned with your ideology. It doesn't mean you have to vote party.

If you want voters to pick you no matter your party, have favorable, popular policies.

I don't vote and don't believe in "democracy," so I have no party or leaders.

I am anything but apolitical, though; I just care more about the process than the outcome. I'm of the belief that if you can get the process right, the outcome will look after itself.

Use to be right wing, now I'm left-wing. Though wouldn't say far-left.

In general not very political. Mainly just hung around politics due to the Ukriane war.

Leader wise we have the Tories. They will be totally wiped out, they know, we know it, everybody knows it. They've fucked up so bad, and so corrupt that their is practically 0 opposing, forgone conclusion.

Probably get a takeaway and have a good night.
