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 think I'm a socialist, though I'm open to change my mind; however, due to the political climate in the US, I kinda feel stuck just voting for anyone who is even vaguely for LGBT rights, as I feel like trans people are in serious danger right now

Seriously, even the Democrats have shifted too far right for me, but they're the only party, along with some independents, with politicians that care about LGBTQ+ rights.
