Looks like we're pretty closely aligned, then.

Mostly WCW, with hints of rural populism and conservative skepticism.

Least like the SJWs and MH's

I've definitely moved left since joining Atlas.

Other: fusion of internationalist, cosmopolitan and non-interventionalist, with a sprinkling of libertarian views on civil liberties, plus Bernie Sanders's views on money in politics.

 Ron Wyden is a close proxy for my most important issues, as was Russ Feingold in the mid-00s.

Do you happen to read Jacobin Magazine, Dissent Magazine, In These Times, or ZCommunications? Those, along with The Intercept, are my regularly frequented sites. You might also want to check out Marxists.org, which has an enormous library of subjects covered in-depth and a good introduction to Marxism.

Pretty much the quintessential cosmopolitan liberal going by those definitions - every line in the description describes me, except for maybe that I'm a stickler for "party loyalty" - but I definitely have strong internationalist tendencies.

Internationalist all the way, with a slight tinge of social justice advocate and cosmopolitan liberal, and an even slighter tinge of moderate hero. Working class warrior, rural populist and conservative skeptic are very far from me.
Interesting. I didn't realize you favored wealth redistribution as well as being so anti-Trump voters. Of course, it's different from you - you don't have the people closest to you voting different ways and arguing over it. No offense intended, but it's easier to judge voters in other countries than one's own.

My background is cosmopolitan liberal but politically close to Working Class Warrior.

A conservative Democrat is much more likely to have voted for Sanders than for Cruz in the primary.

I guess of these I'd define myself a cosmopolitanism liberal.

I'd like to think that my posts alone converted Kamala into a dirty Red, though I refuse to take any responsibility when she inevitably bombs a bank next year.
I recruited her to Atlas After Dark, so I'm somewhat responsible.

Probably this, though I'm a heavier tinge of social justice advocate and cosmopolitan liberal and not really much of any tinge of moderate hero. I recognize the need for the working class warrior and rural populist types, but I rarely think their ideas make for viable policy.

Interesting and thoughtful question.

I underlined parts that applied to me. I identify politically more with the description of an Internationalist although I don't think that name applies to me. I voted for cosmopolitan liberal in the poll.

A mix between internationalist and working class warrior. Voted working class warrior.

To be honest, cosmopolitan liberals sound like disaffected Rockefeller Republicans.
