Political affiliation of best friends

[REDY]

Whats political affiliation of your best friends?
My friends are mostly liberals (in european sense), but best friends are opposite.
If I will take 2 my best friends, one should be described as anarchist, another one is hardcore communist, in fact he is only communist who I have met personaly.

 

[Babbler]

My only close friend doesn't care about politics on way or another.

 

[Zelig]

I don't talk to my friends about politics.

 

[Ecofarm]

Stinking commies. Except the old people, they're right of me cause social.

 

[Camikaze]

Of my close friends, one holds almost identical beliefs to me, but is fervently atheist. One is a creationist/fundamentalist Christian, although still left of centre. One doesn't like the fact that the government didn't give him any stimulus money, cause he's too rich. One is a conservative Liberal (Liberal Party, that is), the type that actually thinks and provides reasonable arguments. One is a conservative Liberal (Liberal Party, that is), the type that is good for a laugh. One is a fascist (in denial). And the rest are pretty ambivalent, although probably slightly left of centre for the most part.

My best friend is pretty leftist. He's somewhere between socialism and anarchy, although he has purely anarchist friends, purely socialist friends and those who mix anarchy and socialism like he does. He tried getting me to join IWW once.

My girlfriend tends to parrot whatever sounds the most reasonable from people around her. I wish she wouldn't, but oh well. Nobody's perfect.

On the whole, everyone else generally leans slightly to the left. My only other best friend tends to eschew politics, unless its something particularly stupid, or has something to do with the Governor. He really hates the Governor.

a bunch of namby-pamby libruls, the whole lot of them.

Politics should never be discussed in polite conversation.

 

[Cutlass]

My best friend is an unaffiliated gay conservative military veteran Christian.

 

[Cato the Elder]

Very mixed lot, ranging from the far-left to the far-right, and everything in between. I don't care what my friends' political affiliations are, so long as they keep in mind that any political discussions change nothing in our friendship.

 

[Kerozine]

Don't know any extremists.

 

[Shekwan]

They're all liberal douchebags like me.

In terms of the Irish political spectrum, mostly Labour or Fine Gael. Although mostly Labour. Thats the university crowd for ya.

 

[downtown]

My best friends are either graduate students, Teach For America teachers, journalists, musicians or work in Big Charity/NGOs.

Needless to say, my friend circle leans pretty liberal.

 

[warpus]

Fairly liberal by Canadian standards; most of my friends will vote Liberal or Green.

Some of my co-workers might be stupid enough to vote Conservative, but we don't talk politics at work.

 

[Kerozine]

Politics should never be discussed in polite conversation.

It can be, but it's crucial to take the right.. approach in discussing it.

 

[Ansar]

Conservatives :/

 

[Valka D'Ur]

One of my friends from high school saw a picture of Pierre Trudeau I'd put up on my bedroom wall. She got very upset and demanded that I take it down (she was, and probably still is, extremely Conservative in both politics and life). I asked her why, and she whined, "Just take it down!"

I told her it was my bedroom, and my picture, and if I wanted to put a picture of Trudeau on my wall, I would. And if she didn't like it... "If you don't like it, don't look at it!"

Many years later, I've lost contact with this person. However, the picture is still on my wall.

This.

Most of my friends are 'moderates' in the sense that they don't really fit in anywhere, but some are moderate in the normal sense. No one's too out there though because I do not get along with ideological people.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Most of my friends are the idiotic "I don't like politics because it's too hard to understand/I don't care" type.

 

[aronnax]

I have a center right best friend who I argue with regularly.
That's it.
