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.

I absolutely would want someone to point out to me if I'm not being nice in any way. While me asking for feedback isn't the same as someone else having the ability to take moderator actions against me, I don't know of really any system (other than simple trust) to hold me accountable to these principles. If you or anyone else have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

I think the best I can do right now is attempt to be as transparent as possible and continue to interact so you can all get to know me and maybe, in time, I can earn some trust 😊💜
