This is a trick question. Be sincere and just ask if one cares about US politics and prefers democrat or republican.

No other place frames the question of more or less socialism as big vs small govt. And for that matter I am not even sure the democrats ever frame the question like that.

What you are actually asking is "Are you from my tribe?".

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments and flamebait? You've unfortunately been doing it repeatedly. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

You can go over my comment history to see how it started. I have put in a lot of effort putting in good comments on solid topics and then I see comments like polluting this space and go unchecked:

At this point, if I can export my contributions and not have my data locked up here, I will be happy to quit this site.
