Are The Majority Of Posters On TT Liberal?

But as others have more eloquently said, it doesn't really matter that we sometimes disagree as long as we all treat each other with respect. Besides, we all have the same optimistic goal for the future that Trek presents.

That's true, except I just like to watch the world burn.

As others have said, Left Wing or Right Wing are the more accurate categories (all ideologies are conservative by definition, really). Most posters here are Left Wing. I'm extremely liberal and I disagree with the Left almost as much as I disagree with the Right, especially in the current political climate; I also agree with both on certain subjects. It's always best to get to know people as individuals rather than labels.

But even left wing/right wing has issues given that just as with conservative and liberal they are different depending on where in the world you. So it might be fair to say in US terms of left wing/right wing that the majority of posers are left leaning.

Great typo there, but you're absolutely right-- all politics is local.

liberals tend to flock to Star Trek because they feel it is the great society that only liberalism could create

I watch Star Trek because its a great show and I only became political after the TV franchise went off the air. My reasons for being a Liberal are pretty simple I find it the ideology to be a fairer one and its members to be part of reality & fact.

Maybe, but is it a long term destination for both left and right wing philosophies ?

A laissez faire approach is currently concentrating wealth, power and resources in the hands of a tiny percentage of the population at the expense of the majority. Taxation, regulation and restriction seems to be unpopular in certain quarters, but how else to combat what appears to be human nature ?

Obviously we need WWIII followed swiftly by replicators.
