Do you buy into the entire "liberal agenda?"

72. I guess I'd identify as a democratic socialist.

I'm solid left.

Do I buy into the entire "liberal agenda?" You'd need to define what it is for me to reply accurately. Overall yes, in terms of raising the minimum wage, raising taxes on the rich, lowering taxes for the working poor and working middle class, better access to quality education. Perhaps I most vehemently disagree with the democratic party on the issue of military spending. I think we should take care of our veterans better than we do now, and spend more on that, but also that we should cut our defense/military-industrial complex spending a significant amount, perhaps even by half.

Expressing disagreement? I pick and choose. On economic issues I try to inform and / or express my views when I can and in a way that is good for my soul.

On social issues, I probably disagree often but try not to express much disagreement because 1) I feel that the economic issues are more important and 2) I try not to change what I probably can't change in others.

I don't feel it necessary to post a lot, or vehemently disagree with anyone else who post here because I like most progressives in real life so I figure that even if I disagree with them on a message board it's kind of silly because at heart I'm a populist and a humanist and I would probably like that person in real life. So what the heck, I just let a lot of the other stuff roll of my back. Sometimes it makes me laugh, and sometimes after longer periods of thought I might even come to find that I agree with some particular posters on a lot of other things.

I hope this answers some of your questions. And that you enjoy a good weekend.
