This doesn't make mention of a party, only political leanings. Sure, the parties sometimes represent those sides, but that's not what's asked. It probably did play a role in the answers though.
It's kind of silly to pretend like "liberal" and "conservative/right" don't have corresponding political parties in the US. Maybe they're not supposed to, but that's not reality.
They do to an extent, but I was correcting that you can not agree with the part liberal or conservative because there are other options. Sure, when it comes time to vote you have to choose to vote for one of the two parties (in order to be counted), but just because the parties are bad shouldn't change the way you describe your own political leanings.
