Apparently I'm Post-Modern. 

[ElectionsGuy]

Libertarian

[DemPGH]

Solid Liberal.

Pro environment, pro regulation, equal rights, feed the poor, educated, largely vegetarian, extremely secular, view the Tea Party as being not far from a mob, and so on.

Don't listen to NPR, though, and am male.

[courts]

disaffected

[angus]

Don't listen to NPR

Probably it's best.  Every story is basically "The world is a terrible place and there's nothing you can do about it" all done in a very soothing voice.

i listen to this american life sometimes

[Franknburger]

Solid liberal (to the extent such US categories fit to an European, and this European has been able to answer the sometimes quite US-specific quiz adequately)

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Libertarian.

[Hash]

Solid liberal

[DemPGH]

Don't listen to NPR

Yeah, most of the movies I find interesting, old and new, generally carry that message. So that's probably good enough.

[The Dowager Mod]

Solid Liberal.

[Beet]

Solid liberal, and other than the fact that I'm a man and I don't have passport or buy organic (I'm way too frugal to spend so much on groceries), the description fits me accurately.

This except I have a passport.

[Oakvale]

"Post-modern" apparently. The description is reasonably accurate.

[H. Ross Peron]

New Coalition Democrat

[TNF]

Solid Liberal except -

Not objectively "pro-government," rather "pro-social services rather than letting the working class starve to death and die in the streets
Not so much support of "regulation" as I am nationalization, because regulation will never be without loopholes and will tend toward atrophy over time as the "regulators" become those who are regulated
Not dumb enough to believe that the Tea Party is an actual thing
Not a Democrat
Not in the Northeast or West
Male
Don't listen to NPR (I'd rather not fall asleep while driving), don't watch The Daily Show (Jon Stewart irks me), don't read The New York Times (tend not to read newspapers)
Don't have a passport
Don't buy organic foods (not a lifestyle liberal or GMO troofer)
Not a second generation American (my family has probably been here since the Revolutionary War or before that)

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

New Coalition Democrat

Does it say what that means, because I have never heard of the term before?

Interesting.  Thanks!

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Solid Liberal

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Got Solid Liberal, changed my mind on a single answer, got Disaffected. That, plus suspicious numbers on a lot of the poll questions (doubt that "Hard-Pressed Democrats" are so nativist).

[angus]

New Coalition Democrat

You can dig deeper if you're interested in the demographics.  You get stuff like this:

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

A mixture of main street Republican and Libertarian.

[Torie]

I clock in as a "libertarian" even though I am not a libertarian, so the typology sucks in my opinion. And a lot of the questions were way over the top Manichean; in my world, what I see are a lot of shades of gray, along with the blacks and the whites.

[DemPGH]

What is Post-Modern in this context? I haven't a clue.

The rest of them make sense. New Coalition Democrat I took to be kind of a Blue Dog or maybe conservative on this, more liberal on that, etc. It looks like that's what it is.

[Vosem]

Got Post-Modern, but felt like I had to choose between lots of false dichotomies to get to that answer.
