Sure, one can. But I don't even consider myself 100% libertarian even though I'm pretty much a minarchist.

Thanks for the input.  I've tried to find a label that feels right on me, but none seem to fit like a glove.  I'm kinda all over the spectrum on ideals.

I tried this too, but I realized it was more a social affinity for fitting in, which actually takes away from the individual act of voting. It's this that allows the two main parties to aid in usurping your individuality, handing more power over to them. If they just cater to labels, they don't need to talk as much about policies, actions, etc.

That's not a bad thing - I think labels are pretty stupid tbh. I can't fit in any of them either.

Oh no, I'm quite happy with who I am.  But today, many conversations tend to start with, "Are you X or Y?"  "Did you vote D or R?"

 

None of the above usually, but some of many.  I'm just me.  And I like me!

 

ETA: I asked because I respect your opinion, and others see us differently (often more accurately) than we do ourselves.

 

"A different version of you exists in the minds of every person who knows you."

 

And not a single you is the same as the other yous.

Don't get all philosophical on me now. I'll have to come up with another version of you.

 

My answer to "are you X or Y?" is 100% of the time "neither".

Most of you are not as all over the spectrum as you may think.. Its just a matter of how granular you want to get in you definition. 

 

Think about the taxonomy of a species.  Very broad at the Kingdom level and very narrow at the species level.

I don't call it being all over the spectrum, actually. I call it using common sense in place of tribalism.

The Democrat species typically wants higher taxonomies.
