I remember doing political tests a while back and they came back as left leaning but
mostly centre. I'd agree with that.

or maybe there's no denial and no embarrassment but simply right wing posters needed their forum persecution theory confirmed and voted accordingly

imo, it'd be better to do statistical analysis of a month-worth of posts for expression of left or right wing views

:laugh2:

Are you honestly claiming that over 30 left-leaning members post in SD? :hehe:

In terms of the poll; 9 or 10 centre seems accurate for regular posters, seems accurate for right-leaning. We also have members who are clearly "right" and not just right-leaning, whether they've not voted at all or voted themselves are right-leaning for whatever reason, I don't know.

For the left, 2 far-left seems accurate enough. For members who actually POST, beyond that there are maybe 8 to 10 scattered between left-leaning and left. The idea that there are 29 is ridiculous tbh. There are < 20 members TOTAL who semi-regularly use SD.

It is odd but there are clearly members who are more than right-leaning but zero votes :shrug:. No one is "far right" but based on various threads, there are 3 or 4 at least who are full-blood "right". Being a neoliberal capitalist who happens to support the NHS as well does not make someone a centrist :joker:

so does far left but that hasn't stopped somebody saying they are far left :laugh:

Maybe they haven't voted or don't consider themselves fully right as there are some left issues they agree with, politics is nuanced, it's difficult to pin anyone down to anyone unless they fly the nazi flag

OK I just deleted like 180 posts or something in one go. I may have removed posts that did not deserve to be deleted but honestly, near the whole thread just needed nuked tbh, since it was bumped. If I deleted any posts that were not snipey baity nonsense or nothing but a smiley or something, or quoting snipey baity nonsense, then I apologize. But the state of this section after I have been away for maybe a week or so is ridiculous. The constant turning round many threads to the same topic is just bizzarre. And I do not get why some seem incapable of discussing things like adults. Reopening in a sec, but I will be getting very tough on those who continue behaving in the manner I have described mind, its beyond a joke now.

Also can I suggest that members just ignore obvious trolling posts? Report too if you wish, but replying to them at all just turns the entire thread into a carbon copy of so any other SD threads in the past year or so.
