Religion: Protestant/Methodist
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 120
Location: NC Piedmont
Where you were born: NC Piedmont
Occupation: Graduate student, advisory services
Political figure you most admire: Huey Long or Helen Keller (most definitely no one prominent today or in the past 35-40 years)
Favorite President: Andrew Jackson
Political Orientation: Vehemently opposed to both bankster parties - including "independent" politicians who caucus with said parties (e.g., Sanders); even reluctant toward minor parties - including Greens - who still perpetuate the myth that taxes "pay" for spending. Non-negotiable policies: permanent WPA to guarantee full employment, Medicare for All, federally capitalized state banks, bailout underwater homeowners, dissolve the TBTF banks because "regulating" them is kabuki and a fool's errand (clue stick: regulatory capture), Congress selected by lottery (makes campaign finance reform(TM) moot), and dissolve the Fed/return the power "to coin money and regulate the value thereof" to Congress (per Article I, Section 8, Clause 5). Especially furious for being sucked into the Dem veal pin for so long, as they are able to get away with more egregious upward wealth transfer and imperialism than their Repub "opponents" could ever get away with, meanwhile using identity "politics" are their carte blanche. TL;DR: Big-spending, limited power, public purpose government (why people try to collapse these three dimensions into one "left"-"right" axis is beyond me...)

A bit about Wolverine22

Age: 19

Sex: Male

Gender: Male-ish

Sexual orientation: Gay

Race: White

Ethnicity: Italian

Religion: Atheist

Language(s) English and some Spanish

Location: Kalamazoo, Michigan

Place you were born: Flint, Michigan

Occupation: College student, Aviation Management and Operations major with the intent of pursuing an MBA

Political figures you most admire: Lyndon Johnson, Gerald Ford, Harvey Milk, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Wendy Davis, Ann Richards, Jerry Brown, Dianne Feinstein, Pierre Trudeau, Justin Trudeau

Favorite president: Lyndon Baines Johnson

Political orientation: More of a moderate progressive. The reason being for that is because most of my political views have come more into the mainstream since I started getting interested in politics. Back then if you openly supported same-sex marriage and won elected office, you had to have been from Massachusetts as that was the only place you'd have a shot at getting elected. I'm pro-choice and being from a small, blue-collar town, I'm pretty pro-union. I call myself a Democrat simply because Democrats align closest to my views and the Republicans right now are just insane. The main thing that makes me a liberal is the fact that I'm a pragmatist and that ideology has never solved a problem, created a job, or pulled anyone out of poverty. If you met me, you'd find that I'm pretty candid and I think that plays a bit into my political views, is that I tell it like it is.

Favorite book(s) "Are you there vodka? It's me, Chelsea!"

Favorite TV show(s) Family Guy, The Simpsons, The Rick Mercer Report, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Law and Order SVU, daytime trash TV, The Ed Show
