If we’re using a linear spectrum of left to right, how far left am I? I would consider myself on the left end of politics and was thinking of joining the Green Party in the U.S.

Here are some of the things I believe in:

Homeless people should get free housing. If I were in charge, they would live in shelters or big buildings like hotels.

Rights for all!

We should make countries better for all and not just go along with whatever the politician says, specifically where I live in the United States. Real patriotism is trying to make a better, for example, United States for everyone and not just going along with whatever our President says and defending his corrupt ideas.

Climate change is a real issue that needs to be taken care of.

LGBTQ+ people deserve representation completely and everyone should be free of discrimination.

Immigration is what shapes the United States (I use a lot of American examples because that’s where I live, sorry!) and they should not be tortured, deported, discriminated against, anything. It should be a free country and the borders should be less strict.

Weapons should be banned and crime should somehow become a very rare thing to deal with.

    For american standards, you’re basically a commie, lol

    For the rest of the world, you would be center-left.

    The thing that would push you farther to the left or back to the center would be economic issues: you’ve only talked about social issues, but what about the economy and government?

    • Should the government play a big part in regulating businesses?
    • Should people pay more taxes, especially if they are rich?
    • Should essential services such as roads, electricity, water, postal services, healthcare and public transportation be provided and managed by the government or by private businesses?

    There are also some test online that place you on the political spectrum by asking you those kinds of questions, it might be worth checking them out.

    OTOH, I kinda feel bad because you live in a place where there are only effectively 2 parties (right and far right), and chosing another one is going to waste your vote essentially. People like Sanders and AOC have a huge following, but they have no chance of success imho
