Conservative - you do you, I'll do me. I won't try to push anything against your morals on you if you dont try to push anything on me, but when you do I'll fight back. Live your life however you want as long as it doesn't effect mine or my constitutional rights as an American, nor am I subsidizing your lifestyle with my tax dollars.

Minorities are just humans like me, and I them. They deserve the same opportunities across the board that I do, and I deserve the same opportunity as they- to say otherwise is to truly judge based on race.

I believe in provable science over feelings and value my anatomy and biology textbooks nearly as much as my bible.

We ALL benefit when business is booming as jobs are created, unemployment and crime rates fall, money is put back into our economy, and innovation takes place. Some individuals will accrue great wealth and I respect that they have earned the right to do so. Work hard to earn whatever you want out of life and the reward is that much greater; don't ever EXPECT someone else to pick up your slack.

I look inward at my morality, experiences, and conscious to guide on everyday rights and wrongs.

Progressive - I'll do 'me' and be proud of it, then you'll have to also get on my level or you'll be "behind" and need people like me to constantly nudge you forward. My morality is superior to yours and should be the baseline by which we judge progress. Times have changed since many laws were written, including the amendments, so they should be subject to change too.

I base my decisions and actions on the current feelings and opinions of society, hard data means nothing if it doesn't serve to push us forward in any way. I value the trends on social media, news of current events, and personal interactions over textbooks and online educational information.

I will place the perceived exclusion of others over my own perceived exclusions in order to benefit those that aren't as privileged as I am. Minorities are at a constant disadvantage and should be given preferential treatment over myself and other Caucasians to make up for it.

Only the wealthy benefit when business is booming and that wealth could easily be shared. I believe it is society's responsibility to make sure all individuals have enough groceries, a working cell phone, and lesser rent when the individual cannot afford it themselves; no children should suffer because their mother could not afford to continue having them. Society has enough money when it's put together to help out those individuals with too many children and unable to work for any reasons.

I look to the government to decide and weigh everyday rights and wrongs.

Moderates - I shouldn't technically exist anymore in our political climate, especially if I've considered myself a moderate for more than 2 years. I was absorbed by the Republican party roughly 2-3 years ago while the Democrats keep inching further and further away.
