If you weren't a Dem, what would you be?

[ozymandius]

Poll question: If you weren't a Dem, what would you be?

I may even go so far as to suggest the scenario: what if there weren't a Democratic party. Below, I offer a few suggestions. Feel free to write-in some of your own.

[southern democrat]

1. very very sad and depressed

[kixot]

2. Socialist

What? Bite me if you don't like it.

[ozymandius]

4. well, not me really

But you might want to speak to a member of the Whore party.

[leftist_rebel1569]

3. Socialist

but, I would give a thought of going back to my Anarchist (Libertarian, essentially) roots....

[amber dog democrat]

5. a Whig

still promoting alternatives to the authoritarian monarchies.

[ozymandius]

6. I had no idea there were so many

Socialists in the house. This is novel.

[ozymandius]

7. And there's always a coupla Whores in the bunch. n/t

[pnorman]

20. The term "libertarian"

originally meant "anarchist", but like the word "populist" it got hijacked; and by what can be termed the Far Right. To express what it originally meant, you now have to say: "libertarian socialist". It's probably just as well, as a single line isn't really enough for a meaningful description. Check out this site, do the test, and see how you compare with others; particularly the historical personages mentioned: http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/

That site was featured in another thread not too long ago. Practicall all the followups reported being strongly "libertarian-left" (As I did also).

[Deja Q]

8. Green or Socialist

I'm proudly both of those. Bush and Corporate America's actions only make me prouder to believe in what I believe. They prove they are unreliable and untrustworthy.

12. GREENS! Chime in.

This is the Lounge where both serious and silly, sacred and profane are welcome.

[disgruntella]

9. proudly voted "whore"

I have no idea why. I think I'm tired.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. I'd be the walrus

goo goo ga joob

[xJlM]

11. Anarchist?

Seriously. I don't know if it would do any good though.

[ozymandius]

13. Bush and Cheney are anarchists.

However, I think they prefer to be called Chaos Capitalists.

[xJlM]

15. Chaos Capitalists!

I like that one! And it fits so well...

[leftist_rebel1569]

19. not really...

just take one look at the Patriot Act, and then you tell me they're anarchists (or chaos capitalists...that's great...)

[JohnKleeb]

14. socialist

Why isnt Green there anyhow

[ozymandius]

18. Green just added n/t

[markbark]

16. I'd be...

an Evil Overlord :evilgrin:

BOW BEFORE MY AWESOME MIGHT!


Pardon me whilst I sleep off this heavy dose of sarcasm....
