Members max maroon Posted November 7, 2008 Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 This poll is invalid without a BOALG option, and if you want to know that's where I would of put my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members db. Posted November 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2008 So far the poll is skewed heavily toward libertarianism. I wouldn't have thought that. Actually, I don't believe it.We'd better get ready for the upcoming Anarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members collinwho Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've abstained so far, because I don't see any definitions on the chart, only labels. In my experience, different people have different opinions on what left/right/libertarian/authoritarian mean. My opinion on how those are defined does not always match others.

And anybody who doesn't know what left/right/libertarian/authoritarian mean maybe shouldn't be voting.I don't know. :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members db. Posted November 8, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 A friend of mine and I were talking the day after the election, wondering why no one has called them the Republibots and the Deceptocrats yet! Deceptocrats is almost band name worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I could break down my political leanings to a simple chart it would need at least 3 axiseseses (wasn't sure of the proper way to make that plural, and I'm not in the mood to look it up). Military, fiscal/economic, social. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members db. Posted November 8, 2008 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 what is the website that generated the graph? It came from this link, but I'm not sure if they generated the chart: http://onlyshawn.blogspot.com/2008/01/political-spectrum.html -- There's a test on this website if you're not sure where you stand.

Members collinwho Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 According to the test I'm libertarian, but I can assure you that most Libertarians would not consider my views to match theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members J. Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've always thought that the political compass test was quite flawed. I guess this is true about pretty much every test, especially those that you can complete in less than ten minutes. I mean, where's the question about Eugenics? Where are the questions about Imperialism and manifest destiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JeffBass Posted November 8, 2008 Members Share Posted November 8, 2008 Exit polls clearly show that people consider themselves to be "moderate" to "conservative". Only 22 percent said they were "liberal". Despite this people voted for Obama because they believe he's "moderate". He is not moderate meaning people are MISINFORMED.
