Moderates are pretty hit or miss, usually a bit smaller or average tho. The biggest moderate I ever saw was ~7" and thick, so v decent. If it helps, you can take the political compass test on idrlabs, that's pretty good for nailing a person down It weighs you on a 2-axis scale (x: left to right, then y: authoritarian to libertarian)

Most ppl have more nuanced opinions, which is why it's a whole political spectrum. The whole democrats vs republicans thing gives me a headache. That's just a very specific brand of mild moderate left vs a sliding scale of intensity of right.

Interesting, yeah it says I’m left wing, but I def don’t rly *feel* a part of that group and have disagreements on certain things. Lmao ig your theory checks out so far since I’m 7.5” and thick though. I think some ppl could categorize me as conservative on certain things. I don’t rly identify with either party, I’ll tend to pragmatically vote democratic federally, and Republican on some local positions. I think ranked choice voting would be awesome tbh

Yeah it looks like you're pretty moderate but a left-leaning moderate that errs for more personal freedom and less government control, but not by a radical amount. The issue rn is that the US democrat party is just about as close to center, if not more so, as you are, and up in the red quadrant. The Republican Party is nearly all the way at the top right corner. So neither are very easy to identify with.

Ranked choice voting would be AMAZING. I'd care more about politics if we had that, got rid of the electoral college and just relied on popular vote, completely restructured the Supreme Court, etc Bc as it is now it's kinda just a corporate oligarchy with two very unappealing parties

Uh yeah see this is why I think the test is just not the best barometer of my views, I despise the Democratic Party, I only vote for it out of pragmatic reasoning. I voted Jill stein the last election bc Kamala wouldn’t have won in my state anyway, but also bc she’s a neolib hack. Idealistically, I’m a left wing anarchist w very conservative personal sensibilities I don’t want pushed on others, pragmatically I just go with things as they are. I don’t think Bernie is economically radical enough

This whole right-left dichotomy is a holdover from the French Revolution & artificially constraining to rly particular well thought out views imo. The questions were also rly up to a wide array of interpretation bc of how general they were. Like at one point it asks if I think land should be bought/sold to which I say yeah it should, but then when it asks me abt water being corporatized I say that’s bad—bc I think water & natural resources should be publicly owned but not all land should be
