Explain yourself...

This question is mostly for the U.S. crowd, but if outside the U.S., chime in with your country’s political equivalent.

Fill in the blank:

A.)    I am a (Democrat, Independent, Republican, other) because ___________________________.

Or, if your “not” reasons dominate, flip the scenario:

B.)    I am not a (Democrat, Independent, Republican, other because ___________________________.

If you can/will, please answer both questions (the “why” and the “why not” of your voting choice). 

C.)    What guiding political principle(s) are most important to you (e.g., personal and/or social freedoms / rights, economic policies, lower taxes, etc.)?

Thanks for posting and favoriting.
