What's wrong with someone who is a Christian, or a Republican? I am aware that there are many radicals in the Republican party these days, but there are many who are progressive and not completely absurd still. Rand Paul is a great example on how you can be conservative, appealing, and reasonable at the same time.

um i suppose??
as long as they're not curbing peoples' rights in the name of their religion, i don't care.

would you support a muslim government that makes alcohol illegal?
a christian that disallows eating shellfish?
or a hindu who won't let you eat cow?

i don't tend to agree with the republican party on most issues (esp ones more important to me) and so it's unlikely that i would vote republican. similarly, religious viewpoints can be relevant in politics and cause similar disparities, though obviously it's not a safe thing to generalise upon solely. there's nothing inherently wrong with any of these things, it's just a matter of personal opinion

I've been out of highschool for almost four years now I already forgot that thing.
Anyway at its core the US is a republic, you vote for people to represent you. It has been argued that under a direct democracy the cities would dominate the elections. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing, especially if it comes to rural issues.

What I do know is that no system will truly be perfect or make everyone happy.

I dont know enough about any participants to say who I truly want as president but my political compass is more towards democracy, so I'll just vote for them.

Haven't said it since elementary school which was like 5-6 years ago but I can still remember that song.

Vote Liberal! Vote for Justin Trudeau!






Obama is certainly a foreign favourite, and so will miss Clinton if it's for sure she's running for president. Not that we have any say.

As far as political leaning goes, I just pick and pull the things I prefer like any independent would.
