I'll go with Social Democratic, Social Liberal, Liberal, Conservative, and Republican.  Mostly by the process of elimination of the terms which I would not use.

Christian Democratic- I believe in following the word of Christ in terms of my personal issue positions. I view the need for compassion and morality in our politics.
Progressive (other)- I believe that the government has a role in enforcing legal equality, justice, and human rights.
Social Democratic- I believe in a free market system where basic needs are provided for and the government solves excessive inequality

Republican
No theory of government is without flaws, but republicanism is perhaps the closest mankind has come to developing a political structure that successfully balances the rights of individuals against the needs of the community. Every other political system I know of is either irrational in conception, unworkable in practice, or both.

Federalist
Balancing power between local and national authorities is an imperative in a country the size of the US, where an all-powerful national government would be prone to ignore local concerns and all-powerful states would severely weaken our economy and international stature. I won't go so far as to say a federal system is right for every country, but it's certainly the best option for the US.

Social Liberal
Individuals have rights, and the purpose of government is to protect those rights. In the early days of the US, men like Jefferson and Madison held that an overbearing government was the biggest threat to those liberties; I would argue that, in today's world, societal forces that prevent upward mobility and vest power in the hands of the few is of much greater concern. As such, I support government action to remove these barriers.

Quite sure about Republican, Green, Feminist.

It gets harder coming to the question between Socialist and Social Democrat, largely maybe because I am not completely sure about my views and they are currently in a state of fluctuating... I ended up clicking both because in the end, I guess, I would support some sort of transition from our currently capitalist economy to some sort of a "fairer" economical system, call that system socialist and that view socialism if you want to, though my ways of acheaving this are, I guess, inherently different from many that style themselves Socialists and more akind to the camp of Social Democrats, so yeah, something in between I'd say.

Socialist- More specifically, a democratic socialist, with some sympathies toward market socialism. I support public ownership of the means of production and worker self-management over traditional capitalist business models.

Green- Meh, this one's more complicated. I agree with several principles of green politics, including promotion of the preservation and conservation of nature, support for equal rights of minorities, and opposition to militarism. On the other hand, I disagree with the overt pacifism and outright denial of modern science in the area of GMOs that is prevalent in the movement.

Feminist- In a generic sense, I support women's equality and the abolition of traditional gender roles. There are some more unsavory and bizarre ideas in feminism (Tumblr activism) that I don't agree with.

Republican- The best political system in existence and the most effective way to grant power to the people.

I can bring myself to vote for/support social democrats, social liberals, communists, or maybe even anarchists depending on the situation.

Christian Democratic.

Being a really moderate democrat i've found i have more in common with christian democrats(with the exception of the christian part, especially in social issues which i absolutely disagree) in terms of economic policy.  Some welfare state but with a more capitalist focus as it does in Germany with the concept of ordoliberalism/social market economy.

I voted for Communist (specifically, Bolshevik-Leninist, i.e. Trotskyist, and in my case, Orthodox Trotskyism as counterposed to 'Third Camp' 'Trotskyism' (which I'd just call social democrats with goatees), Socialist (see 'Communist'), and Republican.

In what way?

in the sense of an interest in exploring and promoting non-state and non-coercive forms of political organization.  like the other terms I checked, it is not a rigid ideological commitment.

Liberal (as in, classic liberal), libertarian, conservative, and republican.

EDIT: Might as well throw in anti-socialist and anti-communist, as well as patriotic, democratic, and cosmopolitan.

Conservative, Libertarian, Republican (though in the Netherlands I'm okay with the monarchy), and Zionist as write-in option.
