we previously had this thread but it was lost in a sitewide crash. kind of fortuitous, given all the new people!

anyways, i'm interested in how you describe yourself politically but also why you do so, and/or how you came to the beliefs that you did. be as brief or lengthy as you want in answering that.

additionally, as a preface: i would like this to be a generally non-judgemental thread and i think this community is more than capable of that, so please respect that idea.[^1] in general, you are not obliged to justify to myself or anyone else why you believe what you do.

[^1]: exceptions, obviously, go for bigotry or intolerant beliefs that would be otherwise incompatible with the community's ethos. bluntly if you're a transphobe or something like that this is not the community for you.

In terms of the rest of the world? center-left. In terms of USA? radical left apparently

I'm in the same position on the political spectrum. I think we should have universal health care. That's generally accepted as a basic human right in Western Europe. In the US, it means you're literally Che Guevara.
