For instance, progressives in the United States tend to be in favor of ending the drug war, or at the very least legalizing marijuana, on the grounds that the current regime hurts people unnecessarily.
By that logic does the fact that they favor more regulation of tobacco count as wanting to hurt the "right" people?
Also they favor making the "rich" pay their "fair share", eliminating due process for men accused of rape, etc., because the rich and college men need to be punished for their "privilege".
Not all progressives are like that.
In the big survey, political views are divided into large categories so that statistics are possible. This article is an attempt to supply a text field so that we can get a little better view of the range of beliefs.
My political views aren't adequately expressed by "libertarian". I call myself a liberal-flavored libertarian, by which I mean that I want the government to hurt people less. The possibility that the government is giving too much to poor people is low on my list of concerns. I also believe that harm-causing processes should be shut down before support systems
So, what political beliefs do you have that don't match the usual meaning of your preferred label?
