But I can only vote in my head, because I've come to realize that there are no real elections in America any more than there were in USSR - people just like to believe in things...the way you can identify yourself it the way you VOTE.
because the paradigm is always either-or - there are only 2 ways to identify it.
I agree that one might have more conservative fiscal views and more liberal social ones or vice verse - but it is what you want to compromise when you choose whom you you vote for - THAT identifies you.
If you state that you are socially conservative but consistently vote dimocrap because you also receive hefty union benefits - there is no question where you really belong to in classification
If you state that your views on social issues coincide with Noam Chomsky but you still vote for a conservative candidate as you can't stand government waste and intrusion - that is also very telling what you are and where you belong in classification.
It is pretty easy in the political system we have in the US.
It is a bit more complicated in a system where more than 2 parties exist.
