41. I don't align myself with a party. I don't really even like to name my ideology, but most people consider me to be a "classical liberal." I disagree with that classification, personally.
As far as social issues go, I don't really care. Don't care if women get abortions, don't care if people grow & smoke marijuana, don't care if people are gay, etc. I really truly don't care. I see the militarization of law enforcement as a problem.
As far as economic issues go, unfettered and unregulated capitalism is not a good thing IMHO. Workers need to be protected from exploitation. Companies have to be restricted from unnecessarily polluting the environment, cheating investors, abusing their workers, monopolizing markets, etc.
I see primary & secondary education as a human right. I see access to healthcare as a human right. I see access to clean food and safe housing as a right.
Between 45-50 years old I'm not loyal to any political party I started off as a moderate conservative with some liberal leanings but have been solidly liberal for many years.

56 and thanks Geek, that saved me a bunch of typing.
63, Unaffiliated, but the older I get, the more conservative I become. (Re: POTUS candidates, I voted for the Democrat in 2008, Green Party in 2012, and Libertarian in 2016, although I supported Kasich until he dropped out.)
Sometimes I'm a dragon too. But never when I'm 80. That would be weird.
In a decade or two, people will be posting this and will be serious. Wait....people are already trans age and trans specie. I literally just forgot, I thought the poster was only making fun at the fluid gender movement.
Restart this thread with a poll, that would be more interesting.
Obviously there will be a correlation with older age and more conservatives. But I think I would still like to see a brake down.
Age: Old enough to vote Party: Independent but leaning Liberal Democratic lately (I will vote for the best candidate regardless of party affiliation)
About the same. 31, Independent but aligning more with the Democratic ideals over the past 5 years or so (Obama '12, HRC '16). I voted Bush in '04 (my first election), and McCain in '08.
