I ask this question because I got into a reasonable discussion on Facebook with someone who said: - 'I consider myself generally conservative (not the ultra right who has hijacked the party just like the far left has the democratic party) with a bit of a libertarian slant.'

We did continue, and amazingly didn't go the usual 'Way of The Facebook'. As part of this I went and looked at the Democratic Party 2016 platform. And it's certainly not radical or hijacked (Radical for me would be getting rid of FATCA, The Patriot Act, and insuring UBI, but that's just me).

Here's a link to the 2016 Democratic Party Platform which I encourage everyone to read.

So, my bad, for posting a poll before I had my coffee. I've changed the poll questions so, if anyone wants to change their votes, please do so. My thanks to Brooklynite, Still_One, and Lochloosa for pointing out the error.

Also, the guy, although a libertarian he had a great take on the whole Confederate statues stuff - 'I've always looked at those statues as the original participation trophies. "Whose that guy? He one of the guys responsible for losing a war? Hey, let's build a statue."... I have never understood that.'
