I think so, although the population of LGBT people who have weekly church attendance is probably small enough to bamboozle a lot of profiling software Tongue

It's probably something like 15-20%. Low but not to a point where it becomes statistically irrelevant

And of that 15-20%, I wonder how many are new-age hipster churches.

Not many.

Traditional but liberal mainline churches are more known for gays.

Also hipster churches are usually pretty orthodox theologically and are not "new age".

I'm a part-white, part-South Asian, gay, liberal mainline Protestant, young male who votes Democratic. 

Overall yes.

Eh, I guess I do. At this point there is a significant number of people from my social background who vote to the left, even in France - and most PhD students probably lean left.

That said, my political philosophy is (thankfully!) pretty far from that of the typical young while male lib'rul yuppie. At the very least I like to think I take my commitment to redistribution and feminism more seriously than they do.

Young white male is probably lean Trump/GOP, so I guess so, even though it's the stereotypical "Bernie" supporter.  When you take into account that I go to a university in the Bay Area, then no, not at all.

Non-religious young white male probably has to be the most libertarian demographic ever.

You'd guess that a young irreligious person (gender and race plays less influence politically than in the States IIRC) from the inner-city would vote Greens/Labor, yes. So probably.

Not at all. My age, race, location, background, etc. would all point to me supporting Sanders, but that is certainly not the case.

Even young white males break for the Democrats by a large margin.

False.

http://www.people-press.org/2012/11/26/young-voters-supported-obama-less-but-may-have-mattered-more/

Obama’s support among young voters declined among many of the same subgroups in the overall electorate in which he lost ground, particularly whites, men and independents. Obama won a majority of white non-Hispanics under 30 in 2008, but lost this group to Romney this year. In contrast, Obama won young African Americans and Hispanics by margins that were about as large as in 2008.

Of course these numbers (along with all numbers involving the white vote) are heavily skewed by the South.

Obama actually won non-Southern whites in 2008. Doubt he did in 2012 though.

Agreed, which is why I said if you stratify my demographic (young white males) by geography too (Bay Area for college), it changes the game.  But young white males are a definite Romney bloc, if young whites in general backed him.

I was going off of the USAToday poll that showed whites under 35 preferring Clinton over Trump 45-26.  Obviously there are a lot of undecideds but off the bat Hillary is nearly 2-1 over Trump.

It's safe to assume that young white males still prefer Hillary to Trump of those that have decided... but I'd imagine most of those under 35 white Hillary supporters for the general currently support Sanders.

I'm a millennial PhD student at a state university, the son of a life-long public employee, who grew up in a liberal region of a liberal state. This implies a liberal alignment.

I'm also a straight, married, white man who actively practices Catholicism, implying a more conservative alignment.

Taken together, a communitarian-lean actually isn't that surprising at all.

Uh, no they don't. Romney won white 18-29s by 7 points overall, which means he likely carried white male 18-29s by double digits.

When I read this thread I thought it was "will you vote the way your demographic profile would imply" so I based my statements on the recent polling for the 2016 race.

In fact, if you had actually read the thread, you, uh, would have seen that I already, uh, explained this.  How old was RFayette back in 2012?

Straight, White, college-educated male from an affluent, mainline Protestant family.

I'd say I'm pretty damn stereotypical in my political views, LOL.
