Progressive one
I don't think I am that left but the political compass says otherwise. Always have voted more or less along party lines but I live in an exceedingly liberal state so that's easy for local concerns. I was born in a really disempowering situation and am all about people feeling free and able to live a whole life. Feels like most of us are running at 70% capacity and this is one of the reasons I seek change. I am really excited to be here even though this is pretty much the most contentious election I have been woke for and it seems like there are many conflicting opinions!
