What makes you Dem/Repub/Indep?

[ottermax]

I will probably be a Democrat when I can vote, but i'm open-minded.

I was raised by a very diverse and open-minded family (i'm part asian, part caucasian, and jewish) and I have always known to accept all people. On social aspects, i'm basically a strong liberal except for drugs and affirmative action. On economic aspects, i'm not too far too the left, but i believe in combating poverty and getting people off the streets. I believe in capitalism, but I believe the higher and middle classes have an obligation to help the poor. I'm also a very strong environmentalist.

Since the Democrats are the closest of the two major parties for me politically, I am loyal to them, but I despise the two-party system because it has made the parties so corrupt. I would probably vote Green if they had more power.
