I've been wondering this for some time. I want a breakdown of the political views of the anandtech community. Use the poll.
Poll: How would you 'sit' politically?

OK I admit I don't know where Libertarian's sit.
Anyone care to tell me? They certainly don't seem left...

Trying to equate Libs to left or right does not work well. BTW, Socialism does not belong in the center either. It's more of a far left.
Elemental007,
Libertarian wouldn't be far right, but would be very conservative. To be "far" right, one must be willing to place severe restrictions on individual freedoms.
It's not "democratic", it's "democrat". There is nothing democratic about the way democrats operate. Thus, when you refer to them, you should always say "democrat" candidate or officeholder, not "democratic".

<< i have no idea wtf left, or right mean. >>
Mday,
Let me help you out.
Right = logical, factual and correct.
Left = emotional, ignorant and wrong.
Russ, NCNE
You think that Democrats (in the American sense at least) are more to the left than Socialists? Your book is worthless.
Shux,
You meet at least one of the criteria for left. Since I possess no emotions, your assertion is wrong.

hmm...
Everybody is emotional, at least to some degree. It is a part of human nature, you can't resist it. So Russ is emotional. Yet he says he doesn't have emotion. He is ignorant of his own emotions. He is wrong that he doesn't have any.
You fit all of your own criteria for being a lefty Russ.

datalink1,
Since I have no idea who you are, I've never seen you post anything, and since nobody has ever heard of you, I must assume that you know as much about me as I do you. Therefore, any assertions you make regarding me, or anyone else here, are crap.

Your ignorance shines brightly Russ. I know more about you than you know. My post was just pointing out that what you posted about "Left=emotional, ignorant, and wrong" was immature. You could argue that Right=emotional, ignorant, and wrong.
And where does the fact that I am a junior member and I haven't posted anything come into play? Even you were a junior member at one point Russ. Come on, just because I am new doesn't mean that what I have to say is crap. You assume too much.

Center equates with Socialism? What have you been smoking?
It's Re-Poop-Lickums, for scatological reasons too obvious to enunciate.
And anyone to the right of center is a Right Wing Whacko.
Your biases are showing.
Here is the proper lineup.
1. Far left-Our beloved dreamers;
2. The Left-Practical people willing to make occasional minor compromises with the Nazis to the right of center.
3. The Center-People who haven't a clue what anything is about, but just want to get the bickering over with. Another name for them is the "Say what? Bunch".
4. The Right-Mostly Neo-Nazis who never met a millionaire Cowboy they didn't think should be President. They prefer automatic weapons to automatic voting machines. They have wet dreams about owning tactical thermonuclear weapons.
5. The Extreme Right-Mostly engineers and technical people who have social I.Q.s at least 3 standard deviations below normal. These people can only be trusted with non-biological molecules, and have sigs like "machines good, man bad." If they are Elite, the chances are good they've had their brains surgically removed long ago and are really lingering here on life support. However, most don't make Elite because the Mods are occasionally able to detect real life forms from engineers.
Happy Holidays!

well it works both ways... the further you go left or right the less personal freedoms...
that's why it's better to look at the political spectrum as a circle than a bar.
