Which Liberal stereotype are you?

[Wetzelbill]

I'm rich. I surrender alot as well. I probably look French too.

Actually, I'm probably more Republican stereotype than anything. I'm a hick from Montana and I say "Nukular." Yikes. But people seem to want to have a beer with me.....

[Kutjara]

1. I'm an effete leftcoast pseudo-intellectual...

...who spent long enough living abroad to pick up a Eurotrash accent, a superior attitude, and a taste for hopeless far-left politics. I work in a nebulous part of the technology industry, doing a job that's impossible to describe, while spending my offtime in coffee houses, reading cubic philosophy tomes of migraine-inducing pretension. Finally, I only vote for candidates who have no hope of ever being elected, meaning I'll never have my utopian principles put to the test.

[ashling]

8. cubic philosophy tomes of migraine-inducing pretension

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[tigereye]

50. yes!

:thumbsup:

[chknltl]

2. I am a: Typical aging liberal hippie douche.

Well that's what South Park's Mr/Ms Garrison would call me. I even have a pony tail and sandals!
I confess that I can no longer haunt Starbucks... they got a sizable chunk of my limited cash for many years but all that caffeine was bad for me!

[Shakespeare]

3. I'm an ivory tower feminazi!

I eat testicles for breakfast! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

6. I am so impressed I sent you an add request on myspace

[youthere]

33. Fried or steamed?

[yewberry]

4. Sheesh, might as well just shoot me.

Ride the bus to work every day.

Vegan.

Graduated mcl but broke.

Used to drive a Volvo and live in Massachusetts.

Idealist to the point of stupidity. (Two years of national service. :eyes:)

Recycle.

Speak French.

Buy only recycled-paper toilet paper.


Yep. I even carry a hemp wallet. Can I be saved?

[Wetzelbill]

7. wow.... you win

:)

[yewberry]

9. But...but...I don't want to win!

I want to be able to afford some land. Is that too much for a liberal archetype to ask?

I promise that I'd be as much of a stereotype if I had it, really!

Windmills! Solar panels! Organic compost! A subscription to Atlantic Monthly!



Poop. More city life for me, I guess.

[quakerboy]

5. Hippie hair, sandals, college educated

Can make you any coffee you want with my eyes tied behind my back, though I dont drink the stuff myself

[XemaSab]

10. The rogue hybrid of the latte liberal and the tree-hugger.

I enjoy the urban life a little too much to be a pure tree-hugger. I have intellectual pretensions. I claim to support the arts.

OTOH, I have spent more money on camping gear than most people in the third world will earn in 10 years. :shrug:

[The Animator]

15. Time to put your money where you mouth is....

I'm an artist, and I need to be supported. :P

[enigmatic]

11. I drink microbrews now

Alley Kat Amber, made here in Edmonton :D

[u4ic]

12. Hey enigmatic!

:hug:

I'm sure you are chugging down the stuff now in the wake of the election. :banghead:


And as someone who hasn't had a drink in about 10 years (just never liked the taste), but now (very recently) feel the need for it...please, hand me one, too. :nuke: :nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke::nuke:

[enigmatic]

13. Hey u4ic!!!

:hug: How are you?

I couldn't believe what happened on Monday; Ed Stelmach channels Hank Kimball from Green Acres and he gets a landslide even King Ralph never had. I volunteered for the NDP this election and man, this one hurt....

[NMDemDist2]

14. hippy dippy tree hugger n/t

[pokerfan]

16. Just your typical boomer/gen-xer cusper...

shattered idealist, ex-farmer, professional engineer type who has lost all hope of real political change and happens to believe that for every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple--and wrong, choosing instead to hang out here when he's not working on Mr. Fusion in his garage and who only recently found out that someone made a documentary of his senior year in high school and called it Dazed and Confused but is now an ex-stoner, ex-boozer and hasn't touched a peyote button in 25 years but just can't manage to quit the tobacco, who has never read Susan fucking Sontag, believes in opening presents Christmas Eve so parents can sleep in Christmas morning, that Lee Harvey was part of a vast conspiracy and while the small of a woman's back is nice and all, the front is much more interesting. In short, he finds arguing politics akin to tilting at windmills which is why he hangs out in the Lounge cracking himself up while downloading midget clown porn and when it comes time to vote, he simply finds the biggest idiot he can and votes the opposite way, neatly canceling out the idiot's vote, thus freeing his time to work on Mr. Fusion, thus solving the energy problem, and retiring to some remote Polynesian island.

[krispos42]

17. Blue collar with a dash of intellectualism, I guess.

Drive a domestic beater, like meat, bread, and cheese, wear leather, own guns, and stick to jeans and a short-sleeved button-down shirt whenevery possible. Cotton, preferably. My job is that strange, offbeat kind where I actually walk into a building and add value to raw materials like steel with tools and machinery. Weird, huh? Got my head in the clouds with my bookshelves full of medium-to-hardcore science-fiction, alternative history, light fantasy, and horror, with a dash of Star Trek for good measure. I tend to reread books and serieses I like, often until the covers fall off. When I drink, it's typically a Sam Adams, a MGD, or a Corona with lime. Don't like wine. Listen to Air America every day and piss off my conservative boss with podcasts of Thom Hartmann and Sam Seder. All CFB in my light fixtures and LED nightlights in my plugs, so I use less than 300 kWh of juice every month. I keep my hair trimmed short, never tried out facial hair, and am free of tattoos and piercings.

:shrug: A blue-collar liberal with enough smarts to tell that Reaganomics is a complete sham?

[DarkTirade]

18. I've got a little bit of a lot of them

and all of none of them.

[DarkTirade]

78. Now that I've got a little time to elaborate...

I've got long hair, usually scruffy facial hair and generally strike people as being some kind of hippie/grunge/rocker/whatever type, but I've never done drugs or smoked anything. Ever.

I'm poor, but I've only been on unemployment once (job went under with no warning thanks to an asshole boss who was stupid enough to run a pizza place near a college campus into the ground, and enough of an ass to lie to us and pretend everything was fine until the very end.) and welfare never.

I'm a college educated musician. (although I didn't graduate...)

Currently a college student again. (trying to fix that whole not graduating thing)

I like to drink wine and microbrew/imported beer.

I'm fairly artsy in general, although outside of music and a bit of a way with words I have little talent for such things.

I try to eat healthy, but I don't go so far as to be a vegetarian.

I drive a hybred... but it's not mine.

And I've got an IQ somewhere in the 145-150 range. But I don't like to tell people about it. :P

[DarkTirade]

106. Oh, and I'm one o' them hedonistic screw-anything-that-moves bisexuals

... except that I've been with fewer people than most guys my age, and I tend to stick with serious monogamous relationships.

[mainegreen]

19. The marxist technophile.

[TZ]

20. East Coast Liberal elite

Why I even READ for fun and pleasure and to learn...:P

[zanne]

21. People seem to think I'm very religious.

Not people on DU, of course! When they find out I'm agnostic and liberal, they're very surprised. I still can't figure that one out.

[FloridaJudy]

22. Birkenstock-wearing, latte-drinking

Tie-dyed tree hugger. I bring my own cloth bags to the grocery store. I boycott a lot of stuff. My car is covered with Progressive bumper-stickers.

But I'm far from rich. If I could afford a Volvo, I'd probably drive one.

Edited to add: I also insulate my apartment with books, and my television hasn't been turned on in years.

[Ordr]

23. Hehe

A conservative liberal, if such a thing exists! (Maybe old school liberal?) O8)

[BOSSHOG]

[grace0418]

However, unlike most Republicans, I'm a loyal husband and a pretty good father.

[Wetzelbill]

57. oh snap!

just had to to add the loyal husband and father in there.

Any trolls around here, you know that one had to hurt!

[EstimatedProphet]

41. Marxist intelligentsia

[guitar man]

42. a friend called me a "stealth liberal" the other day

I'm a Harley riding,pickup truck driving almost "redneck" in a lot of my ways. This guy started spouting a bunch of mongoloid RW talking points about gay marriage etc. like I was "one of them" and I broke it off in his ass about how I felt, about a lot of shit, didn't pull any punches. A friend of mine within earshot laughed and said "you gotta watch him, he's a *stealth liberal*"

:rofl:

[NewJeffCT]

45. I'm kind of a stealth liberal, too, but in a different way

good way of putting it, by the way...

as I said in my other post in this thread - I'm a clean cut white male, early 40s, quiet personality, married with one kid. I work in Accounting & Finance, and most of my work history is with insurance companies. I live in a red town in a blue state as well.

[guitar man]

46. I hear ya

People find it odd that I work behind a desk in management too, I probably have more of the demeanor of a truck driver or something :hi:

[jakefrep]

53. Secularist latte-drinking Europhile

I used to drive a Volkswagen, and would love to have a Volvo done up all NASCAR-like with Starbucks and New York Times logos.

[NewJeffCT]

55. I was joking before

that, where I live, the rich folks drive Volvo station wagons, the "others" drive Subaru wagons.

[jakefrep]

75. This is what I had in mind....

[tigereye]

54. that's so funny!

one of my brothers is like that- he hunts, fishes, house full of guns and bows and arrows, drives a 4 wheel drive truck, etc, but he's a well-read Dem.

[guitar man]

56. That's me pretty much

Gave up hunting about 10 years ago, still love to fish. I'm primarily a "labor Democrat" as was my father and grandfather, but generally support most progressive issues. :hi:

[AlCzervik]

43. Book reading, Pbs watching, Birk wearing, VW beetle driving non meat eating liberal.

with a wicked sense of humor and a lot of compassion and to cap it off----only 6 short years from moving to the bay area.

[PleadTheFirst]

44. NJ bred late 30s ex-punk, still seething with anger at everything

Most Dem Politicians are too conservative for me, but of course far better than the other option in our busted 2-party system.

I'm an opinionated Liberal loudmouth. I wear my beliefs on my sleeve and don't give a damn if it offends anyone.
(Although I'm strangely quiet around here. Go figure).

[av8rdave]

[Taverner]

52. Hedonistic Anarchist-Sympathizer Latte TechYuppie

Is that a stereotype?

[applegrove]

58. I'm a crunchy granola, pollyanna.

[BuelahWitch]

60. Woo woo Welfare Queen Hedonist here

:hi: :evilgrin:

[Phillycat]

61. I've got you all beat!

I'm moving to France. :D

[IronLionZion]

62. I'm an Indian yuppie who spends too much time in museums and ethnic restaurants

what else? My cars have always been made in the USA from mostly US parts: Toyota Camry and now a Honda Civic. I recycle as much as I can, drink green tea that I brew myself with loose leaves, own Ikea furniture, shop at Trader Joe's, hate corporations unless they make stuff that I like, I skipped out on doing fun stuff so I could go and caucus for Obama, listen to Air America every day and MPR most days, and of course I post on DU like it's the driving force for my life.

I don't like coffee shops and am suspicious of organic food so there's hope for me yet.

I am also one of the whitest non-white people you'll ever meet as evidenced by this site: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/

[Lyric]

64. Unemployed welfare Mom

I'm a full-time student at a landgrant university, I have a 7 year old son, and I get Food Stamps and Medicaid. I'm also atheist, in a same-sex relationship, and a moral relativist. They really, really hate me. :D

[LiberalEsto]

66. Aging UU hippie nt

Beater car, but mostly rides the bus.

A big fan of pun, metal, reggae and subversive music in general.

Declared as an atheist when called for jury duty. They wouldn't have me.

Kinda Slavic looking.

[theredpen]

68. Is there a stereotype for liberals who can't find a niche?

Cafeteria Catholic?
Effete Boston-Educated Technocrat?
Dispirited former anarchist?

A member of Bill Clinton's family (I'm not saying who) once told me I was "Administration ready." I still don't know what that means, but it's probably bad from a Freeper perspective.

[jakefrep]

70. Another cafeteria Catholic here.

You're definitely not alone.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

69. I listen to jazz and stuff my head with useless facts and hate war.

I have no siblings and don't particularly want for anything and hopefully soon will have my own car, and I want to go to some fancy-pants high tuition college/university.

You know, your general spoiled only-child pseudo-effete, pseudo-intellectual brand of liberal. :P

ETA: I run around barefoot in the summer and don't like organized religion and am an uppity feminazi bitch. SO THEREZ!!11elevens!

[leftofthedial]

71. I should run for pretzeldent as a repuke

everything I touch turns to shit

[CBHagman]

72. Oy, where do I start?

I mean, really, have you seen all the French movies in my Netflix queue?

Aside from that, I've always supported my local PBS station, don't own a car, have had too many years of formal education, completely give myself away at the newsstand (i.e., checking out the copies of Washington Monthly, Sojourners, etc.), and would have gladly sent Ronald Reagan to federal prison for Iran-contra.

[femmocrat]

73. Member of the NEA!

You know us.... We only exist to keep all the worst teachers in the classroom, increase your taxes to endow our part-time work year, get all those posh benefits, and indoctrinate the children to the politically-correct, librul/gay/feminazi "agenda"!!!!!!

:evilgrin:

[laconicsax]

74. I think 'secular progressive' is broad enough to encompass most of it.

I'm not a big fan of stringing together adjectives, not only does the list get kinda long, but it reminds me of the generic composer/arranger method used to avoid learning how to write for percussion--just take three adjectives and put them together to describe the groove, the goofiest of which I've seen being "Afro Celtic Latin."

[Ava]

76. i'm from alabama, which eliminates me being any liberal stereotype

:rofl:

[puerco-bellies]

77. Long haired, jebuz-free, librual.

[CBHagman]

81. Well, I'm on my way...

...I don't know where I'm going. I'm on my way. I'm taking my time, but I don't know where.

Have you at any time ever known "Rosie, the queen of Corona"?

[kwassa]

82. another stealth liberal

don't drink no lattes, take my coffee black and strong, like my wimmens.

Drive an American car (the horror!) and really like it. NO SUBARU.

Live in the suburbs, and like that too after many years of city living and aggravation.

like microbrews and decent wine and single-malt scotch, so that is the elitist snob liberal part of me.

shop at Trader Joes and Whole Foods, so I must be a liberal, I think.

No Birkenstocks. I do like tofu, actually, even though I am a carnivore. Most commercial granola is way too sweet for me.

I'm less liberal than my parents, being very much the pragmatist. I hate idiocy in any political persuasion, left, right or center.

[spinbaby]

83. Latte drinking,

hybrid driving, Birkenstock wearing, can recycling, tofu eating, organic gardening hippy-dippy liberal.

I'm sure there's more, but I'm too busy getting ready to drive my foreign car to my ivory tower job to come up with more. Oh, and I haven't been to Starbucks yet this morning, so I can barely function. ;)

buy "Blue"

Don't care for large groups, bars, loud people or spectator sports.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

89. beats me.

I really don't know what I am anymore.

[Deep13]

90. I know people like to say they don't fit stereotypes, but I really don't.

My economic thinking is basically socialism-lite.

My social thinking is basically libertarian, except I would not hesitate to be aggressive if something really is a danger to society.

Should we impose serious restrictions on CO2 and other waste sources? Of course. Wanna marry your same sex partner? Sure, why not. Wanna marry your husband's girlfriend? Sure, why not? Wanna come from somewhere else and expect me to speak your language? No fucking way. Wanna impose religious values on the public? No fucking way. Wanna take guns away from civilians? Sorry, my hands are neither cold nor dead. We should also fund public media, all levels of education and have a single-payer universal health system. We should do away with deferential treatment of religious property and income in state and Federal tax laws. Maybe then local schools would be better funded. Antitrust laws need to specifically address media consolidation.

[Felix Mala]

91. Atheistic Commie

...with a smattering of sexual deviant...

Redstone

[annonymous]

97. I live in an urban area, recycle, and do a lot of reading

My house is lit with compact fluorescent bulbs. My family donates to environmental organizations, i.e. Chesapeake Bay Foundation and have memberships to the local zoo and aquarium. However, I never drink lattes, don't drive a Volvo or Prius, don't have an advanced degree, am not a vegetarian, don't buy groceries at Whole Foods, can't afford anything organic except what I grow in my small backyard plot, never watch PBS or listen to NPR. I drive a 13 year old Toyota Corolla, only have an AA degree, shop at cheap grocery stores such as Aldi and Save A Lot, and have two children in Catholic school. I know few people who fit the liberal sterotype and I found them to be total snobs.

[woo me with science]

okay we don't have a dog but the rest fits.

[NewWaveChick1981]

107. I'm out to save the world.

:D Well, as much of the world as I can. I have been in the same profession for 22+ years, and I have helped over 100,000 total students, most of them very financially needy, at several different colleges and universities find ways to fund their education. :) (I figured out the numbers a while back, and even I was impressed. :D) I'm a bleeding-heart liberal with a firm footing in reality, if you really want to know the truth. :)

I'm also a strong advocate for both animal rights and human rights. :)

[THUNDER HANDS]

108. i have a beard

that makes me a liberal, right?
