Okaaayy... Not sure how much it actually says when I look at the results of some of the others responding on this post. Anyway, here it goes...

Huh. You’re somewhat of a centrist. @SapphicHeart
@jackjjackson
Luck up your own results and you will see why I'm not sure how much to put into these results. Lol.

IKR? Crazy. Defective “test”? @SapphicHeart
@jackjjackson
At least for a lot of the Trump fanatics around here. Lol

I’ve been telling you all along I’m a moderate centrist and really don’t care for Mrs Clinton. This test validates that.

On a personal note, out here is the open I apologize for all my previous not nice comments directed at you. I like your sarcasm and as I’ve read more of your material it appears that while you have a political leaning(like virtually all people), you’re smart and more open minded than I failed to recognize. I’m sorry and I hope we can move in in a healthier manner. I promise to do my part. @SapphicHeart
@jackjjackson
I know what you've been telling but your posts and replies are more telling than what you claim when presenting yourself. Actions do tell a lot.

And thank you for the apology, accepted.

Thank you. In large part due to you, I’ve been attempting to treat people on here as I would people in real life. You may want to focus on my more recent posts. Also for the last 11 or more years my mean political issue has been and continues to be no Mrs Clinton in the WH. I do take issue with users who attack other people in public life and refuse to view Mrs Clinton with open eyes.

@SapphicHeart
@jackjjackson
I believe in treating others as real people, no matter if it's on or offline. I hope you will find it suiting you.

As for Mrs. Clinton, I don't expect you to be a fan of her. However, one can find Mrs. Clinton to be a bad seed without having to feel a need to overly protect the current POTUS, or being uncritical towards him. If truly a moderate one should think there would be plenty of stuff that would be a worry when talking politics and the POTUS and how things are handled. Imho. It's about the open eyes. ;-)

I’m taking a wait and see approach and not judging based on the media. It seems as though those that couldn’t stand the President beforehand are only to blame him or judge him for something. @SapphicHeart
@jackjjackson
I know this is what you say, and now we're getting quite close to political standing. I've had a brief look at your latest posts not much new there. Still praising and glorifying POTUS and slamming those in criticism of him as being crying lefties and so on. That's not a wait and see approach. Thank you for your public apology for your previous not nice comments for me. Let's leave it by that. I see no common ground debating the political environment with you as what's having an open mind to me isn't being met with your approach. Have a nice one.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
I’m prepared to be open to accepting the results whether I agree or not. Are you? I’m not slamming critics. I disagree with those who THINK they know in advance what the facts are. Innocent until proven guilty is the way things work in the Inited States. Have a nice day Santa 😀 @SapphicHeart
@jackjjackson
Hmm... Okay, let me wrap this up in one final comment. I hope I get it all, or at least the most included.

You might say it's how I feel around the POTUS.

[quote]I’m taking a wait and see approach and not judging based on the media.[/quote]
Does that go for any politician, or only the ones that you don't dislike. I remind you that a lot of your posts and responses are still up on the site and suggest something differently, kind of more biased.

[quote]I’m prepared to be open to accepting the results whether I agree or not. Are you?[/quote]
Do you really though? Again, I recall several posts and comments made over time, not just about Mrs. Clinton and about the POTUS.

[quote]I disagree with those who THINK they know in advance what the facts are. [/quote]
This will be partisan thinking and is represented richly on this site, and one could argue for both of us doing exactly the same at times. I am sure you'll say you're only raising questions, and so am I and a lot of others doing. Btw, being critically thinking isn't the same as knowing in advance what the facts are.

[quote]Innocent until proven guilty is the way things work in the [b]U[/b]nited States [corrected the typo of the I into the U, I hope it doesn't bother you, and is okay even if I still quote you :-)][/quote]
So very true, and again it goes for all. Also the ones you might dislike. It shouldn't be a partisan question. Yet again, critically questioning about what might be a concern isn't necessarily judging. It's not the same as one is yelling [i]LOCK HER UP[/i], just to mention one example coming to mind.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays
