    I don't know where I'm at. I think all politicians are liars and I think politics is dull and they should stop taking money off people that don't have any

    Rational human being...

    I don't take sides because none of them are on my side.

    I'm still salty that we couldn't get to the Proud Boys in Westlake Park if that gives you any idea.

    I don't align myself with any side of the political spectrum. I think freely, as an individual rather than as a member of any group, ideology or party.

    Thinking as an individual occurs within a socio-cultural group context. It might be free in the sense of not constrained by any particular group's scriptures but it is not independent of groups. Inter-dependent thinking would be more accurate.

    Quite far left, somewhat of a libertarian socialist. I'm still learning though.

    I tend to agree more with politicians from the so-called "left", but i don't like to use that label. I prefer to analyze and study each question separately, without restraining myself to "left" or "right". Sure, labels and groups are important to an extent, so people can organize themselves and fight for what they believe, and i also don't think that being totally neutral is possible. However, most people don't know how to use these labels, and i think the meaning of "left" and "right" has been somewhat lost nowadays.

    In resume, i'm certainly not neutral (that is not possible in my opinion), but i also don't feel comfortable defending a closed "thoughts package": I don't want to be tied to a label.

    I tend to think of myself as left of centre, however, some on the left tend to think I'm more of a moderate centrist, while people on the right have accused me of being a flaming lunatic liberal, so... I don't know.
