Here's my problem with that: I think the political spectrum itself is skewed at this point.

Posted by pmb (aka pmb) May 5 '11, 08:03

The right has shifted so far right over the past decade or so that while I don't believe my political views have changed drastically, I have moved on the current political spectrum from moderate republican to solid liberal. I know some of my views have changed on the margins moving my views somewhat more left, but not nearly as much as the current American spectrum has shifted it. I don't think being identified as a solid liberal actually reflects my political views, but it probably does relative to a spectrum that is being pulled further right.

Responses:

If the right's shifted, where does that leave me? I'm David-level liberal. -- nm - Amy May 5, 08:07 1
