The ultimate showdown of the "Nice guy, ffs" versus "Muh community". Which of these two vague descriptors do you generally prefer?

Isn't this basically the same thing as my Manchin vs. Collins poll?  And, obviously social conservatism trumps all for me.

It was inspired by it. I wanted to get a bit more general.

I need something way more specific than that.

It was intentionally vague.

using "fiscally liberal" to describe left wing economics is beyond bizarre.

Not if you want to equate left-wing economics with financial irresponsibility. Which of course, is the whole point.

Anyway, I've said this before, but people who describe themselves as "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" are usually just Republican voters who don't want to look like bigots.

Or who, ya know, AREN'T BIGOTS.

Social conservatism isn't inherently bigoted.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that at all.  However, neither is being a Republican, which was DEFINITELY implied by PR.  (I'm assuming HE doesn't think social liberalism has a strong connection to being a bigot, yet said socially liberal Republicans *don't want to look like bigots*, as if their Republicanism inherently brands them as a bigot and they're just trying to wave the socially liberal banner to hide that fact.)

That's fair enough.
