Here is a better one; If you hate Trump no matter what he does and you love to riot and you love to attack old defenseless Trump supporters, then you are a liberal.

But he didn't say any of that.

I don't believe in women's rights or gay rights or brown rights or men's rights either. I believe in human rights. We are all humans and should have the same rights.

Maybe that's what the OP is saying.

Sounds something like Statist Catholic position, you might be at home in one of the European Christian Democratic Parties. (Not implying you are religious.)

In all fairness, you might want to register independent, and see what are the most important issues for you.

But if you believe we should all have the same rights, you then do support same-sex marriage, as an example of "gay rights".


The OP said she/he doesn't "believe in rights for LGBTQ". Quite different.

I don't agree with everything liberals do. Since I agree with so much, let me say what I don't agree with.

The biggest thing that I don't agree with is feminism, this women's rights bs and this woman's protest/strike today...totally dumb.

I don't believe in rights for LGBTQ either. Nor do I think people should have operations done to change their genders.

I believe in everything else though that the platform is for though.

The only thing that I can really agree with on the right, is the economics. I am basically socially democrat, but fiscally conservative.


It annoys me because when I talk to other liberals and these issues come up, it becomes very heated, but I don't agree with much of what the right says either..I feel like I am without a party...

So what am i?
You're a moderate, and I imagine the vast majority of people are moderates, you wouldn't think that by watching MSM or perusing the forum pages. Opposition and controversy sells, it's one of those things that connect with people emotionally on both planes, so it's to MSM's advantage to keep selling papers and keep viewers strapped to their seats as they either sneer or revere at the commentary. On pages like these, it's everyone's opinion and many people find it entertaining to create drama. JMHO.

You're basically a sexist. They come in all political stripes, unfortunately.

There is no definition of liberal that applies to you given that you are ok with prejudice and bigotry and discrimination against women and on the basis of sexual orientation.

What that makes you, I have no idea. But it's not a liberal.
Lol, ok lady. I just worked almost a year in an office environment where I was repeatedly discriminated against by women and mistreated. I was paid less than them and I had a woman sexually harass me and I reported it multiple times so no, I don't believe in this and no, i'm not Prejudice or discriminate against others, but you guys sure do like to discriminate against men don't you?

For those that are wanting to know what I am fo, I have made a short list.

I am for abortion, affirmative action, climate control and I believe in climate change, regulation on the economy and big business.

I believe in stem cell research, looking for other types of energy besides oil, gun control, and health affordable health care for everyone. I believe in immigration reform, screw the damn wall, and i dont believe in the voucher system or death penalty.

Should we be aborting babies left and right like throwing old beer cans out or should there be some restraint?
