What political view of yours is furthest from the mainstream?

[ScottieF]

- Abolishing affirmative action in its current form and replacing it with a progressive income-based system
- Guaranteed minimum income
- Repealing the 22nd Amendment

[Thunderbird is the word]

Climate change (as in doing nothing about it will still result in less than 2C warming)

That's still pretty bad though isn't it?

[PJ]

In a United States context:

• I support nationalization of major industries, establishment of a universal basic minimum income, and a 100% inheritance tax.
• Internationalism: open borders, a global elected parliament, etc.
• My views on issues relating to morality, such as prostitution and drugs (marijuana excluded) are well to the left of mainstream debate. I also have no inherent issue with polygamous relationships, although I don't really care about the issue that much.
  

[Figueira]

My views on youth rights are pretty radical, but most of them are more cultural views than political views.

Also, socialism.

[Boston Bread]

Mandatory voting for everyone over 16 (with a NOTA option and making election day a holiday)

[Orser67]

I didn't like most of Gingrich's other ideas...but let's build that moon base

[Leinad]

Huh, I seem to be fairly outside of the mainstream...

I'm not supportive of banning incest?

I support slashing the "defense" budget by at least 95%

(I'd go less than 95%, but still enough to make a large chunk of Republicans call me a dirty-America-hating-liberal-socialist-muslim-who-wants-the-terrorists-to-win or whatever. To me, it's cutting spending and cutting our imperialist foreign policy--a two-for-one on limited government!)

I think prostitution should be legal and not regulated by the state.

(I'd regulate it some, but yeah, I'd legalize it.)

slashing the entire US budget by 25% over the next 3 years

(Only 25%?!?)

Legalizing meth.

Also:

-My opposition to abortion is peculiar considering how I'm probably one of the few opposed to it that does not base their reasoning on religion at all. Also off-the-beaten-path given my views on other "social issues."

-My support for legalizing polygamy. Not the biggest fan of the practice, really, but I see no good reason to warrant government intrusion.

-Oh, I also want to abolish the personal income tax. Not all tax, per se, just that one. This one will get eyes rolling fast, but it's technically theft. Similar to abortion, which is technically murder, I see no other logical or ethical way to look at it.

-ELIMINATE the FPTP voting system. The system has allowed for the creation of two crap political parties that differ in little but their flavor of statism. I'd love to see it replaced by one where people's voices had a slightly higher chance of being heard--not straight party list PR, that's almost as bad, but something like STV or MMP.

Anyway, take your pick, Atlas, I've got a buffet of far-from-mainstream-ness right there.

[Figueira]

Legalizing meth.

I read this as "Legalizing math."

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Well I'm not sure at this point they're so far off the beaten path.....but I'm a free trader and support legalization and taxation of drugs.  I'm also a drill baby drill guy. 

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Given that mainstream is no longer mainstream in America, just about everything.

[morgieb]

Probably relating to immigration (like using the "muh lines on a map" argument against people arguing for restrictions on immigration) and drug legalisation (support legalisation/regulation of most drugs), I suspect.

[Blair]

Supporting a Federal Europe, at some stage

[courts]

Given that mainstream is no longer mainstream in America, just about everything.

you know what? actually this is a great post. mean that with zero irony. change your name tho

[Dirk]

I am a free trader; I do not support the Hyde Amendment; I support amnesty for illegal aliens; I don't believe the absence of Glass-Steagall is to blame for having hastened the 2008 financial crisis; and I'm not deceived by the straw man of a "War on Drugs." I believe both drug dealers and drug users should receive long prison sentences. I also happen to accept the finding of the Warren Commission Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK.

[courts]

liberal democracy doesn't work. multiculturalism isn't all its cracked up to be. lsd should be legal

[JerryArkansas]

Huge reforms to our Judicial system and to the Immigration system, wanting even more Immigrates from all over the world to come to the country.  Allowing huge numbers of refuges to come to the country.  Wanting massive increases to transportation spending.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

liberal democracy doesn't work. multiculturalism isn't all its cracked up to be. lsd should be legal

These all sound common-sense.

[Frodo]

-replacing our First-Past-The-Post electoral system with Mixed-Member Proportional Representation, including the elimination of the Electoral College, and the federal Senate

-support for a Value-Added Tax to replace our assortment of sales and use taxes

-reforming our public education system along the lines of the Finland model

-nationalizing Medicaid (thus taking states out of the equation entirely)

-support for universal childcare
-----------------------------------

Everything else is more or less within the mainstream, or so I would think.

[Classic Conservative]

Recognition of Kurdistan and the ROC and getting the US out of the UN and the Gold Standard.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

The White Album is the best Beatles album

[nclib]

My views on youth rights are pretty radical, but most of them are more cultural views than political views.

Also, socialism.

Same here.

Also:

I strongly support feminism and believe it benefits men too.
Topless women legal everywhere and full nudity legal wherever it's not a health hazard.
Abolish selective service
Abolish legacy (AKA child of alum) bonuses in admissions at universities
Discourage school-led recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance
Health care subsidies for all expenses related to a health condition that is genetically caused
Strict rules/laws on bullying (including leniency for victims of bullying who retaliate against the bully)

really more cultural than political:

In heterosexual marriages, I believe that there is no more reason for the woman to change her name, than for the man to change his name
More strict movie/TV ratings on violence than sexuality

Years ago, it was gay marriage, but thankfully that's become mainstream.

[Maxwell]

Within the Democratic mainstream - I think political correctness is vile, language policing based on fear of feelings instead of dealing with those feelings in a mature manner. Proof is in these university protests that mean nothing, and the people who protested Colbert for making fun of the Washington Redskins. I also think the big brouhaha over raising the retirement age is pretty silly.

Within the general U.S. Mainstream I think balancing the budget is a terrible idea, especially now, but in general it's not a very good idea.

Oh, I think Marriage is a sham of an institution (but muh morals), most drugs should be legal, and prostitution should be legal.

[Bigby]

In terms of being a Southern conservative Republican, being pro-prostitution legalization, pro-weed legalization (though potheads make it hard to remain that way), pro-private gambling legalization, and so on. In terms of in general, probably not wanting to ban the Confederate flag. I guess that second one may count, as virtually every Northern Republican supports some ban on it.

Depends on where you want to ban it. I'm a Northern Republican, and I fully support banning it from all government areas (federal, state, and local), but, as despicable as it is, not from private property (including businesses).

The dispute of private property rights, as normal, seems to be the biggest difference between the left and right. I wouldn't ban it in either situation.
