The first is that a lot of people don't understand that the prevailing forces in the Democratic party is neo-Liberalism, and the Republican party it is neo-Conservatism. Both are roughly center-right. Social liberalism, what you see myself and some others on here espouse, is center-left. Of course, we are seen as just left to most, and far left to some others. The perspective in this country is skewed in this regard.

The other issue is that the majority of people, in my experience, don't truly hold to an ideology but more accurately have a series of ad-hoc opinions on issues that are formed at the time their opinion is being asked and can often change depending on who, how, or when the question is being asked. This makes it very difficult to really get into those sorts of conversations about things.

The poll is skewed. They all are. Also, as you pointed out, people generally have ad-hoc opinions on issues and those change, sometimes quite often. A poll collecting a few of your opinions doesn't define you so that others can label you correctly. That is why I take these with a grain of salt.
