The Libertarian Party in the US would be firmly in the purple, very socially liberal but also very fiscally conservative. They were actually in favor of LGBT rights before the Democrats were (back when they were formed in the 70s) but they're even more about no regulation of the economy than Republicans.

It isn't specific with what political camp your results make you fall in, but I think the questions are sound and it gives a basic overview of your position.

Like for example the question about whether you think children should sometimes be spanked or not is there, I'm guessing, because it has been shown that people that believe strongly in discipline of children also tend to have authoritarian views.

My impression based on the current US presidential race and the Brexit vote in the UK is that there is a distinct shift towards socially conservative authoritarian viewpoints in some Western countries, which I believe I've seen reflected on tftv. I'm rather interested to see the political standpoint of average tftv users, so if you're interested take this short test and post your results here!

Sure u can use them as relative terms in one country but as far as politics around the world go, democrats are firmly in the right.

I'm not going to bother trying to have a conversation with u anymore ur laughably stuck in ur own world view.

ur actually braindead. The mainstream democratic party isn't even to the left, they're just less to the right than republicans. Sanders supporters are the ONLY left (well besides the small green party) in the US.

He still represents the farthest left of the party and ur claiming people from the left are in support of TPP????

wtf are u talking about literally every Bernie delegate was shouting "NO TPP" throughout the entire DNC lmao.

Ah ok fair enough.

I find it really hard to believe that Texas or Georgia could ever vote anything besides Republican. Do you have a source on this?

Mike Pence has been extremely anti-LGBT doing such things as:

- Supported a constitutional amendment to ban marriage equality
- Opposed the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell.
- Wanted to stop funding HIV prevention and instead put the money towards conversion therapy.
- SIGNED A BILL THAT WOULD FUCKING JAIL GAY PEOPLE WHO APPLIED FOR A MARRIAGE LISCENCE IN INDIANA

Trump has also put out a list of potential supreme court justice nominees that include such people as:

- Judge Diane Sykes who ruled that a student group was allowed to discriminate against gay people and still receive public funding.
- Justice Don Willett who regularly mocks LGBT people on twitter making tweets talking about how he'd support “a constitutional right to marry bacon” and tweeting “go away A-rod” in response to California's law that allows transgender high school students to play on sports teams of their corresponding gender identity.
- Judge William H. Pryor Jr. who refused to even hear a challenge to Florida's law that banned gay people from adopting.

In short, if you think a Trump administration would be anything but highly anti-LGBT you're fooling yourself. Oh and lastly, in regards to his supposedly pro-lgbt point in his nomination speech Trump said:

"As your president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ* citizens from the violence and oppression of the hateful foreign ideology"

You don't have to be a genius to realize that this is pandering to socially liberal people who might vote for Trump while still keeping all the bigots in the Republican party happy by keeping the focus on how evil foreigners are. This isn't even something unique from Trump – after the Orlando shooting plenty of religious right wingers tried to say that Muslims are the true enemies of LGBT people in America, which is laughable considering all the religious right wing groups that have worked tirelessly to make sure that LGBT people don't have equal rights in America. It's just a strategy to try and gain some votes, but Trump's VP pick and the people he's said he'll elect clearly shows his attitude towards LGBT people.

*he struggled to even say this properly if you watched the speech

Policy wise Hillary would just be Obama 2.0 and as far as diplomacy goes it's hard to see her as not better than Trump, which covers the two major roles of the president. This sentiment that Trump is bad but Hillary is worse is something I've heard a lot, but it usually comes from people who have been Republicans their whole life so they agree more with the anti-LGBT, fiscally conservative, socially conservative etc. policies that Trump touts. The interesting thing is that there's actually a small portion of people who haven't voted Republican in the past that have somehow decided that Trump is better than Hillary, which is why Trump is able to contest her despite having even less minority votes than is normal for a Republican candidate.

In short we might get fucked because of people jumping on the Hillary hate bandwagon without actually considering the consequences of a Trump presidency: a conservative supreme court which would probably result in some terrible anti-LGBT stuff and almost certainly would result in anti-abortion laws as well as having a laughably bad head diplomat (diplomacy with foreign leaders is actually one of the most important roles of a president and it's weird that no one ever thinks about how terrible Trump would be at it).

Megalinx is a really solid demo, highly recommend anyone looking for a demo picks him up!

Was fun everyone, looking forward to #6!

She's improved a lot over her last couple seasons of open, definitely deserving of a high open team that won't implode mid-season.

Carried my sorry ass in IM last season, definitely deserves at least a mid-IM team.
