I just can't decide what I am regarding my standpoint on philosophy/politics. Any help?

Listen I'll keep it very basic for you, no single political party is correct. Much like philosophy you have to take the parts you find reflect your morals and your standards. If you like a big government holding your hand telling you, "you need to be tolerant." "You need to understand others." "Everyone is special in there own way." Democrats might be for you. Traditionally they favor a strong central government (Federal). If you want a smaller central government, like a strict military father saying, "There are no handouts in life, work for it." "Another Church!? Do you want to go to hell." "Marriage is a unbreakable union between a man and woman, now tell your bitch mother to get me a beer." Perhaps Republicans are for you, generally supporting small central government and states rights. Or perhaps you want a middle ground. "This is my money touch it and you die!" "If a queer is contributing to society with a job why should I care what hole he puts it in." "The government is bad it steals from you." "Drugs are OK" If this resonates with you maybe Libertarians are for you.
But of course this whole post was in Negativisms these Parties all have there own strengths and weaknesses. Take some advise from me (If you could bear to read this long ass post) Don't support a political party, don't support any of them UNLESS YOU really think what their doing is for the best. Don't vote because he is popular or because they said "God wants us to!" You aren't a sheep you're a person don't ask for advice make your own decisions. Don't seek justification from others, you know what you think is right. Your morals aren't the same as mine which aren't the same as his, which aren't the same as hers. If you ask others you'll only get butthurt faggots preaching their own gospel. If you want to learn more about political parties in general take a 12th grade government class, or go to the library and research. Politics is like choosing a car If you don't shop around you're libel is get screwed. Think about it, go to a group of people and ask whats the best car for you to buy. They'll all scream and shout the type they own is the best because god forbid they were stupid and made a bad decision.
TLDR: Politcs isn't a field of quick info. Don't ask people which to choose. Think for yourself, even if you choose a bad one because YOU made the decision.
