What do I do, Sup Forums? If I don't fit in on the left or right, do I just accept my solitude? Or should I compromise my beliefs? Which is more important — principles, or human relationships?
never compromise, truth is the only freedom. Just do yourself the favor and dont talk politics with morons. Pick your battles and give it a rest when the ground to be one is no good anyway.

I've always like Pat Buchanan - never really disagreed with him on much
Adrian Hill
congratulations - youre a libertarian
Colton Morales
Thanks, user - I'll try. Some people do a pretty good job of feigning intelligence, especially lefties
Benjamin Roberts
I remember as a kid the media painted him to be the biggest racist, homophobe, sexist, bigot ever. The (((media))) has always been working hard on trashing conservatives
Xavier Edwards
I voted for Kerry in 04, Obama thrice including the 08 primary, voted Bernie in the 16 primaries, then started thinking something was fishy about the primary results, plus you couldn't pay me to vote for $hillary. Was going to vote for Johnson at first but jumped aboard the Trump train at the last minute. My oldest friend and a few of my kinfolk won't talk to me now. Apparently leaving the "Democratic" party is like leaving the "church" of $cientology-you get the silent treatment.
Oliver Hughes
It really is - I'm sorry to hear about that, user. It really is incredible how dogmatic liberals are, and yet they've always harped on conservatives for being rigid and inflexible - and this wasn't that long ago
Andrew Campbell
Let me shake your hand for helping to prevent the election of McCancer.
Justin Torres
Go full fascist
Sebastian Young
Fuck'em. Communists are worthless. Nothing lost.
Isaac Young
You're just a contrarian faggot who thinks he's too cool to be associated with whatever's currently popular You're not special, you don't have any unique insight What changed between 2008 and now except the number of people who are leftists, and therefore also the number of idiots who are leftists? The core tenets of leftism have not changed And yet you act like being leftist back then was somehow different, and give yourself a free pass It wasn't hijacked, you just stopped feeling like the underdog and got bored of it
Daniel King
Become the National Socialist you were always meant to be.
Josiah Hill
You're not as influential as you think you are, faggot.
Nicholas Collins
I was a liberal before trump and Trudeau Merkel, white genocide and being red pilled as well, it's ok hit the gym.
Ryan Powell
the fact that you're asking this question to Sup Forums does prove you're an alt-right bigot
Jordan Powell
Fuck off, OP. You made your bed
Julian Myers
CONVERT TO ISLAM THEN SUICIDE BOMB YOUR OLD FRIENDS
Brandon Torres
So by your tortured logic, I should just associate with what's currently popular? And if I got bored of leftism, wouldn't I just abandon it altogether? As I said, I still consider myself a liberal and have the same opinions on economic/domestic policy. Nice try playing psychoanalyst. Your lack of coherent thinking is evident at least three times in this comment. Go back to drinking
Charles Hill
You're right - I should just kowtow to one or the other side of the political spectrum blindly. Go back to watching Sean Hannity, faggot
Brandon Barnes
Perhaps not
Ryan Butler
Some fags put Democratic or National before Socialism like if changes anything. It's still Socialism, a failed system. And if you support Trump and Nacional Socialism, you probably missed what he told about socialism to the UN. #MAGA and #capitalismordie
Tyler Wright
OP, First of all you are a libertarian. Second, you might as well just kill yourself now. This world is rigged for control and power. If you want the power, then you have to take it. If you don't want the power, then you have to lie down and take it. It is fucked, but that is the reality.
Liam Bailey
How does one take the power, user? I'm genuinely curious
Jaxson Gomez
Seeing campaign rallies on CNN while simultaneously watching the events live in the internet was an incredible red pill.
Levi Sanders
Ironic that you posted a picture of America's first Republican president.
Come on over, we have a big tent. Despite what you may have heard, there's a lot of diversity in the other party, and a lot of room for people with differing view points, as long as you hold one strong underlying value: an unwavering love for the country and her Constitution.
Ayden Powell
Right now? With money
Parker Young
Find better friends, and learn to look past ideas to character. If they can think your ideas are retarded by respect you as an individual, ans vice versa, then simply agree to an impasse. I have such an arrangement with a literal marxist because he has good values even though his ideas are a dumpster fire. He's a good friend. Other liberals I have slowly cut out of my life because they're overly emotional children.
