I'm a Labor-Populist Democrat and voted for that. But I also have a strong affinity for the Progressive Democrat faction as well. But I'd take a Sherrod Brown or even a slightly more conservative version of him over an Elizabeth Warren.

I consider myself an (Elizabeth) Warrenite Democrat, so Progressive with a dash of Urban Liberal, but also with somewhat hawkish foreign policy views.

Neoconservative Republican, obviously. But, I also have some overlap with the Urban Conservative Republican.

I am most opposed to the "America first" Republicanism and Libertarian Republicanism on foreign policy.

It's even arguable I have some common views with Neoliberal Democrats as many Neoliberals tend to be moderately hawkish.

Yea, for the most part, its a very solid fit for you.

Maybe some overlap with Urban Republicans as well. I see Urban Republicans as being partially representative of younger republicans in the millennial generation.

Blue Dog Democrat (Only of the Economically leftist kind, not centrists  and neo-liberals like Blanche Lincoln, and others.)

Labor-Populist Democrat

Progressive Democrat (If they don't think a candidate should go to the left on everything, while not understanding concerns of working class kind.)

+ I think an Obama style democrat would be social liberal on economics (keynsenian, but markets, capitalism, free trade, with certain. market based reform to go. Center- to Center left. The use of the world economically liberal cringes me though.

Probably closest to Urban Liberal, though the connotation that comes with that isn't great

Those aren't factions. DLC, Bernie Bros, County Club etc are better terms to use.

Main Street/Urban(?). I prefer the hip, new "reform conservative" label. But I don't want to lumped in with the mushiness that is associated with those things, because I'm a very conservative person. Ideologically, I'm a pretty hard-edged conservative but I'm a proponent of what I call moral servant-leadership. Our leaders should look out for, be accountable to, and dignify the people that elect them.

-Freedom Fighter, though his endorsement behavior in 2016 and insufficient criticism of the press felt bizarre to me.

Let's just say I'm a Democrat. Progressive would be the best label, and that's the label that I use exclusively to describe myself. I occasionally use "social democrat" as well.
