While the left and the right aren't a black and white binary, do you find that you lean more towards left or right wing political ideology?
Are there specific issues or subjects where you lean more left or more right?

On the far left. My ideal political-economy is basically what they have in The Culture.
With the technological limitations of our current society, I support a sort of mutualization of the political-economy.


I consider myself neither. I am in the middle.
I weight up the Pro's and Con's of each side and support the most compelling argument for the benefit of the nation.
...And ultimately in an ideal world, everyone would be like that.

Center-left overall.
That said, I am staunchly opposed to the intermarriage of religion and state. I am strongly in favor of things like the Voting Rights Act and the ACA. I strongly support LGBTQ+ rights, despite not being LGBTQ+. I am vehemently against the incursions into the healthcare industry by the "wellness" industry, which is represented by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
I've lived primarily in three states: a "purple" state, one of the hardest "blue" states, and one of the hardest "red" states. I am currently in the "purple" state in a "blue" legislative district. Of these three states, it is easily the "red" one whose actions horrify me the most, with regards to things like civil rights, education, and healthcare. "Blue" and "red" are the opposite in the USA from what they are in the Commonwealth nations, BTW.
I do own firearms (so do many other people on the left in the USA). But I don't go on grocery runs with my rifle slung over my shoulder.
I left to live and work in Europe. When I got to Europe I was a leftist. After my 3 years I returned to the States as a rightly. Not going to be a popular opinion but seeing socialism first hand literally changed my party affiliation.

That was my experience. Pay 40% income tax and 20% VAT... never figured out why. Roads are a mess, housing is California expensive and had to go private medical (e.g. US like system) for anything that required a specialist... I didn't get the appeal. And college in many European countries is just as (or close) to cost of state schools in the US.

The more people are shifting to the right and are voting the Nazi scum from AfD for whatever stupid reason, the more extreme I'm leaning to the left. Because we all know what happened the last time when nazis took over germany. I consider it my duty to fight back against exactly that.

Depends on the reference country, in Netherlands center, so that would be very legt leaning in US. However it is right leaning in some other European countries.
Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Same here. Reference point would matter. I'm center right in the Netherlands, this would mean liberal in most countries.
