Big on civil-liberties (to a lesser extent the ACLU, who a lot of them consider co-opted and too mainstream), anti-gun-control, pro-drug, anti-tax, anti-military, anti-social-services, anti-law-enforcement, pro-choice, pro-small-government, pro-"freedom" (Not in the same sense as conservatives...more like "pro-anarchy"
, humanist and most I've met were atheists.
I met a bunch of more-extreme ones through some NPO sector work I was doing here in DC that kept peripherally bumping into them...there's a bunch of them in Occupy DC where, in advance of the election, they were pushing this completely fucking moronic "Vote for Nobody!" campaign. We just don't hear much about them because they're not really a factor. They're holding out for a perfect candidate...they tend to either grudgingly vote for the Ron Paul types, vote for their fringe candidates or simply stay home. Mostly, they stay home. They're very critical of Obama and in some of them I sense a closeted racism, a few of them kept trying to tell me that Obama was a worse war criminal than Bush.
You're free to think whatever you want about them...I tend to think of the ones I encountered as a bunch of useless fucking losers...but they exist.
Edit: They weren't really keen on me either...I'm apparently "authoritarian leftist, pro-violence and a statist."
