I Gotcher Labels For Ya
by digby
Here’s another one of those silly little quizzes about your political identity. I am, unsurprisingly, a doctrinaire liberal:
Liberals usually embrace freedom of choice in personal matters, but tend to support significant government control of the economy. They generally support a government-funded “safety net” to help the disadvantaged, and advocate strict regulation of business. Liberals tend to favor environmental regulations, defend civil liberties and free expression, support government action to promote equality, and tolerate diverse lifestyles.
But take the quiz for yourself. It’s quite ridiculous, as most of these are, with arbitrary definitions and somewhat amusing descriptions, but there are a couple of categories that you might find yourself closer to than you realize. And it’s certainly something you could give to certain deluded people who have clearly misidentified themselves.
*I should note that most people use the term progressive/liberal interchangeably, but there are some who make a distinction. I don’t. I use the word liberal for myself because I refuse to let the wingnuts destroy the labels and identifications of their opponents.
