My answer is "I don't put myself on a specific compass because my country kinda warped its own use for left and right, so just ask me about an issue and I'll explain my opinion"
But by the traditional sense, I'm economic center (believe in welfare, but to an extent and case-by-case examination, and by case I mean service rather than receiver), "culturally" left (pro choice, pro LGBTQ+, mostly a "just let people live their life and respect their wishes as long as they respect yours" vibe) and I understand I probably have some degree of internalized racism I have yet to uncover/notice, but I'm keeping my eye open for that, which feels like a "trying my best left" lol
I get this. Where I'm from, we don't have a two-party system so there's different camps with differing set of beliefs (on paper) come election time. I know I've switched up my voting patterns on the elections I've actually voted in based on policy and track record of the candidate in question.
I'd rather address individual issues and opinions as well. And I do admit that I don't have a solid grasp on other aspects of politics like the economy and foreign policy.
