Most people here have strong opinions on a wide range of topics. Are any of you active in democratic politics in some way (with a party, protest group or so on)?

Or are their reasons for not being active?

[Escapist]

Sometimes i'm thinking about it but promoting
2 child policy,
lowering pensions by 2/3,
ban unemployment benefits,
remove child care money,
Letting the whole financial system collapse to start a new one,
make it forbidden to hunt,
hang (almost) every president in the past 100 years who are still alive for genocide and treason to the country,
only allow nano tata's on the road and bikes
promoting deglobalisation
boycotting Indonesia for killing the west papua and east timor people
stop making wars

Wouldn't get me a lot of votes

But hey that's my hidden agenda, If you wanna get elected you need to say the oposite of what you are thinking

I already have a name for my party "Party of Equilibrium"

[bodigami]

Yes.

[AgentR]

Moderately active Republican, though I haven't volunteered or sent anyone any money in a while.

[ian807]

Formerly uninterested. Despise republicrats and demicans. Loathe radical left and right. Dubious about many aspects of libertarianism. Greens have their own wackiness too.

Vehemently anti-stupidity. Totally reality oriented and pragmatic. Uninterested in the "morality" as currently promulgated by the current political "dialogue." I'm interested in solving problems, not how the masses feel about anything.

I don't think there *is* a party for people like me.

[AlexdeLarge]

I support a novel idea.

A return to the constitution as it is written and amended. A literal intrepretation that every man with greater than an 8th grade education understands, not the BS these f#cking lawyers try to make it out to be, where they twist words and meanings and say it is a "living" document to be interpreted by a select few. The Constitution is a document where rights are carved in stone and changes made only by consent of the people.

Yeah......I'm a dreamer..............................................

[coyote]

Somewhat active locally, mildly curious but mostly disinterested nationally. Last time I got involved nationally, besides voting in the election, was to try to help stop that first bailout. Of course, at this point that first one's looking downright quaint.

Anyway, Bush is out of there, that's the last news I really cared about from Washington. After him, almost anyone could look presidential. McCain would have done just as well for me. I was a bit scared of Palin, but Biden's not much of an improvement. I think I'll vote Green party next time, just for fun. In the meantime, what have those idiots down at city hall gotten themselves into this time...?
