How would you rate DU on the political spectrum ?

[kentuck]

You do not necessarily have to use your own political standing, far left, moderate, conservative, or freeper in disguise, but what is your opinion of where DU is on the political spectrum on the average?

[NMDemDist2]

1. Left, but not so far Marx would feel at home nt

[bluestateguy]

2. Somewhere between Liberal and Far Left

Really really far left people tend to not fit in here, though there are excepttions.

9. i think it depends on where you stand on the political spectrum.

To me it appears centrist because I am far left in my views. I dont consider my evaluation "scientific" because I believe I tend to notice the views I don't agree with and dwell on those more than those that I do agree with. But I agree with you on really far left people tending not to fit in here..I don't feel like I do but I don't mind so much.

3. Somewhere between the first and second. n/t

[JohnLocke]

4. It's between Marx and Lieberman.

[Orange and Green]

5. lol...

A joke.

On a real country's political spectrum, you guys would be in the center.

[jjmalonejr]

6. So what are these REAL countries you are speaking of?

Do tell.

[wyldwolf]

8. A "real" country? As much as I loath what Bush and Co. have done...

...to America, the US is very much a real country. I resent the implication.

[jjmalonejr]

10. No kidding.

I'd like to hear more about these "real countries" that Orange and Green is so fond of and is no doubt planning to move to very shortly.

[wyldwolf]

13. Actually he's probably from one of "them"

...and I think his post is symptomatic of the displaced America-bashing some wannabe "proooogreeeesssssiiiives" participate in at DU.

[jjmalonejr]

14. I think personal attacks are against the rules, aren't they?

Anyway, I hear what you are saying though.

[wyldwolf]

15. There was nothing personal about him/her in my post

[jjmalonejr]

18. I suppose you're right. I wasn't scolding you, though, just commenting.

[leyton]

16. I think the US is just a demo version.

Isn't that right?

[jjmalonejr]

17. America 1.0

Is that what you mean?

[libhill]

22. Wellll-

It used to be a real country- but the way things are drifting to the right, I swear that if Shrub gets re-selected, I`ll either lose my sanity, or take up residence in Canada. Frankly, I don`t recognize the America I grew up in.

[wyldwolf]

23. but it is still a real country...

...how can anyone say it is not?

[wyldwolf]

7. I chose the last option but...

...I actually feel it is a little further left, being that even the most conservative DU'ers are still left of Bush...

[Lorien]

11. I wonder if anyone calling DU "far left"

is over the age of 40 without having grown up in a far right household?

Since about 1982, I have met very few people who are actually "far left".

[Hubert Flottz]

12. None of the above!

I vote: Fair and Balanced!

[DaveSZ]

19. A mixture

We have a few Stalinists here who have pictures of hammers and sickles in their sigs (shudder), but they are more authoritarian.


We have Kucinich-type liberals, and we have those in between Kucinich and Kerry, and we have those who are more center-right like Kerry.
