I’m still in the middle!
I haven’t taken one of these politica compass tests for a while, so I thought I’d take a stab at this one and see if I’m still right in the middle of the political spectrum.
Yeah, pretty much.
Woo me, oh politicians! I’m your classic swing voter: and like the song says, it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.
But, all those friends of mine who are left-wing (and there are a lot)? You’re not winning any points with me by calling all my more conservative friends and family (and there are a lot of them, too) stupid mouth-breathing hicks, incipient fascists, or whatever else is the insult du jour. And I hear a LOT more insults and vile calumnies flowing from that side of the political spectrum than I do from the other.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, you know.
