Here's mine.

I'm generally pegged as a "commie" by conservatives.

Which is perhaps based on actual choices given what we're presented with. Not actual values.

You know. There's two chocolates left in the Whitman Sampler. Some hideous green thing and something with nuts-- I take the nuts.

I think the right-left dichotomy is broken anyway. Good to he pretty much centrist in that regard.

That's why I'm NPA.

@CopperCicada The problem with the centrist label in a right-left political dichotomy is that it applies equally to a person who truly holds centrist positions across the spectrum of issues and a person who holds a relatively equal number of extreme left and extreme right positions.

I am closer to the latter and this survey pretty much labeled me a centrist. 🙄 I hold not a single centrist position that I know of. 🤷‍♀️
@sarabee1995 Sure. I think that's one of the problems with the right-left dichotomy. It has no predictive power. Just as you say, you're in the middle because you have a "centrist" views or because you have a mixture of right/left views without bias.

I'm a centrist like you are a centrist.

There are other axes that I think are more interesting these days.

@CopperCicada I think political views are so varied that no singular axis can describe the population. I've seen some really comprehensive Venn diagrams on political thought that I like much better.
