What is The demographic in this forum

[gogmagog]

[Tetro Kornbluth]

80%.

I'm not American so I can't vote for the Democrats.. and I don't think I would if I was.

[Democratic Hawk]

Well, I'm an educated white male so that's 60%. I'm not upper middle-class. I can't vote for the Democrat, but I anticipate I will be rooting for the Democrat in 2008, which counts

So, 80%

Same 'ere, same 'ere.

[Tender Branson]

For me it´s either 80% or 100%, depends on how you define it. I´m not American, so I can´t vote for the Democrats, but I would if I could. Therefore I voted 100%.

[Bacon King]

I'd say I'm a step or two below upper middle class, but besides that you're right.

80%.

Yeah, because as your God St. Ralph said, the two parties are identical in every way, and that's soooo obvious, right? There's NO difference between the Democrats and Republicans.



Did you ever notice how difficult it is to find an American leftist in support of Nader and who would make that claim?

[poughies]

thats mostly if not completely right, depends on upper-middle class definition..

[bullmoose88]

White, Educated,  Male...

Not sure about the democrat part, and not entirely sure about the Upper Middle Class Part...
Probably some extra % from each, so I voted 80%

Ehh.. "God" St Ralph... Pardon, What? Nader discredited himself in 2004 by running as the Reform party nominee.. he's hardly my hero. But the reaction he got for exercising his rights and he had a serious and different platform to either major candidate in 2000 was waaayyyyy over the top. I never said there was no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. But often there is no difference in the issues I really care about. Which is slightly different.

[DanielX]

About 70%. White (more-or-less....), male, educated, middle class (would be considered upper-middle if not in hideously expensive DC area). Won't vote Democrat in '08 unless they nominate someone who completely contradicts the party's economics and social spending platform, or the Republicans run Hitler or Osama. At the moment, I'll either hold nose and vote Republican, vote Libertarian, or write-in.

So you don't care about ending the war?

[Tetro Kornbluth]

The war that many Democrats voted for in the first place? The war that many democrats are still funding (think about what ended the Vietnam war for a minute)? The war whose opposition by many leading Democrats is really about political viability than actually Saving lives?

Anyway at this point the troops staying really is the lesser of two rather nasty evils.

EDIT: This has gone rather OT...

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

The war that many Democrats voted for in the first place?

Not a majority

The war that many democrats are still funding (think about what ended the Vietnam war for a minute)?

Not the candidates running.

So? Ending it's ending it.

[Tender Branson]

The war that many Democrats voted for in the first place?

Not a majority

33% or so Democrats in the House voted for the war and 60% or so in the Senate if I recall that correctly, while 98% of the Republicans in the House as well as 98% in the Senate voted for it.

I should have rephrased that as leading Democrats - In 2004 out of the candidates who had a chance at the Nomination Dean was the only anti. Obama deserves great credit of opposing the war at the start but he wasn't a major figure in 2003 so that point is moot.

Anyway the issue here isn't only the war, If I was an American I'd be pretty disguisted at the political system (even more so than I presently am in Ireland...) and refuse to vote for either them, unless there was a congressiol rep\senator I happened to like. Both parties lack intregrity, and that's almost as important to me than ideology.

[Nym90]

80%, I'm all of those except upper middle class; I'd define myself as lower middle class instead.

[CPT MikeyMike]

White: Check
Male: Check
Educated: Check
Upper middle class: I think so
Voting Democrat: HELL NO!

So 80%.

What is the standard for upper middle class?

[© tweed]

somewhere between 60% and 100%.   voted 80%.

[opebo]

100% dead on.  Except that of course I won't actually vote, but in theory I would vote Democrat if I didn't disdain the system, parties, etc., and wasn't so goddamned lazy.. not to mention far away..

[Boris]

Male, educated, upper-middle class, voting for Democrats.

So 80%. Although I'm basically white, except for my skin color.

[Brandon H]

Educated White Male.

Middle Class

Supporting the Democrats? Hell No.

[The Dowager Mod]

80%
