Re: [JamMasterJay] what's your political party (US citizens)
“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or back gammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority. Its obli­gation, therefore, never exceeds that of expediency. Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority.” -Henry David Thoreau

Philosophically I am closest to being Libertarian but I research candidates and vote for whoever sucks the least. One exception. I will not under any circumstances vote for anyone affiliated with the Democratic Party. Not that I think Republicans are much better, but at least they are slightly less evil.

I like Ted Cruz a lot. Rand Paul seems ok.

anarchism is more of a philosophy than a party. if you support anarchy you'd probably consider yourself a "libertarian anarchist."

it's a lot like if you're an extreme socialist you might refer to yourself as a "socialist marxist"; that's why you didn't see marxism on the list either.
