I wouldn't call the NDP socialist any more. Everyone except the Greens have taken a bloody step towards the Right, at least in Ontario.

Got Solid Liberal, but am probably more of a Faith and Family Liberal. (Despite being agnostic, I'm socially conservative by nature). The questions they use as a litmus test for social conservatism need to be updated- there are plenty of young evangelicals who are fine with gay marriage, for example, but positions on abortion have pretty much held steady across all age groups in the past forty years.

Used to be that people for gay marriage were pretty solidly in the "As long as y'all don't hurt someone, do what ya want", which includes most of the other "traditionally liberal" ideas, with the possible exception of abortion, depending on whether you consider a fetus a "someone" to hurt or not.

Now-a-days, less clear cut. People could be for gay marriage for other reasons besides a general liberal attitude since it's become normalized, so they might be for it, but more in-line in other social issues with a conserative outlook.

Young Outsider, apparently. Never heard of 'em before.
Ditto.

I lean more toward liberalism by heart, so that quiz was kinda lame. Skeptic would've fit me better.

Right. Not everyone who supports gay marriage is a sex-positive young college student from the Bay Area. (Many sex-positive young college students forget this, then get angry when people who are nominally on the same side of the political spectrum as they are have the gall to hold the right positions for the "wrong reasons". I've known a few.)

I suspect something similar is operating with drug legalization- I'm in favor of pot legalization, for example, and lowering the drinking age back to eighteen, but I'm definitely not going to defend someone who sells their kids' possessions to buy meth. In other words, I'm still in favor of a war on drugs, even if I'm staunchly against the War on Drugs as she is waged. I can expound on this, but my proposed solution is fairly unorthodox.

Solid Liberal, but this quiz blows. The debt issue is far more complex than just social security and other aid programs. Not one question about education, either.

It's also very polarizing. No option to give nuanced answers.

Anyway L+ Solid liberal here.

Solid liberal. Yeah, some of the questions are dumb, the debt issue and social security stuff especially.

Also,
