Hmmmm I voted and either there is a glitch on thus forum or with my phone cause I saw my vote and then it disappeared in the results and wont let me vote again

Can you click the ā€œshow voteā€ button on the bottom to bring you back to poll options and try again?

I changed my vote and changed it back and now it seems to appear in the tally. Weird

Weird. I see it now at least.

Historically speaking, Iā€™d put myself pretty close to the center. Iā€™ve drifted a bit to the left, I suppose, on being fiscally conservative. In the current climate, I feel like the right has drifted further right, so Iā€™m calling myself ā€˜lean leftā€™ in 2021.

Whereā€™s the gay left option

I feel similarly. Used to vote more R than D. Nowadays I vote much more D than R. But it feels like the R party left me more than I left them.

I voted ā€œlean leftā€. I would have voted ā€œstrong leftā€, but on the internet at least, strong left means Marxism.

In the real world, Iā€™m left most people.

Gay whales should get free marijuana and socialized healthcare.

Joking, but in the window of American politics I consider myself strong left, Iā€™m for socialized healthcare, LGBT rights, universal pre-K, and reduced military.

Also universal daycare pre-pre-K, food stamps should be on a graduated system by income, not a cutoff, reasonable controls on gun ownership (donā€™t support a full ban and it will never happen anyway), availability of safe abortions, free birth control, no tax on menstrual products, decriminalization of marijuana and pro-research into hallucinogenics (despite never having taken one, canā€™t deny they show promise for some cases.)

Iā€™m rich left. Howā€™s that.

Maybe rich gay left

14

Pretty much the same. Universal healthcare and universal pre-K are such obvious wins. Outside of that Iā€™m just a social justice warrior I guess. Respecting diversity is also a win and doesnā€™t even cost us anything.

I just updated my post with a second paragraph, so as not to put words in your mouth retroactively. I am also big about diversity but didnā€™t know how I would snappily frame that politically, that gets into a complex discussion about policing and racism. I think racism is bad, Iā€™ll leave that there.

Gay people only exist in June, which is when they have a month to celebrate their existence.

Apparently Columbus Day/Indigenous people day is now national coming out day.

It is? No idea. I thought Bernie was libertarian but heā€™s called a socialist.
