I wouldn't say that I'm left or right. Politically, I'm a mutt. I take from both sides, central, and as you have noticed even alt-right and alt-left on issues. I mostly follow my own beliefs. If it seems I am left or right that is purely situational as I am also anti-political party. Rather Im pro-policy. I'd never vote left or right because it is the "correct" party but rather go by the one which goes by my beliefs. Right now I consider Dem and Reps the same party but aim for slightly different agendas. Dems push more for the environment which is why some might see me as a Dem even though Im disgusted by them as well. Both are what I consider right wing parties anyway. That all being said, I believe aligning with any party compromises individuality and makes people more likely to agree to things they dont agree with which is never a good idea. That all said, I am anti-Trump. Pro-environment. Dems and Reps I dont care about.
And I do see your point. However I find it hard to believe the coal and other industries would have everyone out of a job so fast. In fact if the gov invested enough, the transition could occur before anyone loses a job at all. That is, wishful thinking though, since this admin has an odd disdain towards science. At the same time you know this deal has little impact and is mostly a suggestion. Backing away from it makes the US look bad. Which could be temporary depending on what Trump does. But I have no hope of Trump not doing something worse in the future

I'm kinda the same with being a mut. I'm a right leaning libertarian. I don't fit neatly into a political group so I just vote whatever is closer to where I line up and that's republicans most of the time. I'll vote for someone just because of a single issue. In my opinion, voting for independents is pointless unless they co-op one of the two parties. I'll just agree to disagree on trump.

I agree with the independent thing. Also, I have a question. What is a Libertarian? Never bothered to check. Whats that ideologies core beliefs?
