Each answer contains a question: Do you think the person/character/concept is more Right-Wing (YES) or more Left-Wing (NO)? Bet YES, or NO, according to your opinion. 1 person = 1 vote (per answer), so having more shares does not make your vote count for more.
Heavily inspired from @Joshua's excellent market,

You can submit any person/character/concept (shortened to p/c/c for the rest of the description), as well as a link / short phrase to give traders some context. If other people trade on your submission, you'll get mana off of their transaction fees (edit may 29: currently not true, but I believe it is being implemented currently).
I may N/A options for quality control, or edit them to provide a more neutral summary.
As a trader, you should buy any amount of YES in p/c/c you think are Right-Wing, buy any amount of NO in p/c/c you think are Left-Wing. I will leave the definition of those terms up to you. The amount of shares doesn't matter for the resolution, one share of yes is one vote and one hundred shares of yes is also one vote.
If I think you are voting purely as a troll, such as buying no in every option, I may block you or disregard your votes. Please vote in good faith! But hey, I can't read your mind. Ultimately this market is on the honor system.
Note that market prices will be a bit strange here, because this is simultaneously a market and a poll. If you sell your shares, you are also removing your vote.
The market will close every every week; See the close date to know on what day. I will then check the positions tab on options that have been submitted.
If there is a clear majority of YES holders, the option resolves YES.
If there is a clear majority of NO holders, the option resolves NO.
If it's very close and votes are still coming in, the option will remain un-resolved.
The market will then re-open for new submissions, with a new close date the next week. This continues as long as I think the market is worth running.
It does not matter what % the market is at, and bots holding a position are also counted.
Some guidlines:
I encourage you not to bet options to extremes (1% or 99%) before a quite clear majority has been established. Otherwise, it prevents others from betting toward that extreme, and can bias the results.
I may update these exact criteria to better match the spirit of the question if anyone has any good suggestions, so please leave a comment if you do.

Isn't blank-slatism re dogs ("it's not the breed, it's the owner") a view held somewhat more by left- than right-wing people? It also seems like it should be, for consistency with views about humans.
Opposition to breed specific legislation also seems to be mostly left wing, looking at which states have banned it, but I guess there are confounding factors there.
funny this is at 92% right wing when since 2000 includes presidents like Barack Obama or Joe Biden
it's tied 2-2 for republican vs democrat winners
although i assume there are very few people who voted for Obama Trump and Biden
Consider, however, that all the Democratic presidents since 2000 won the popular vote, while the Republican presidents lost it 2 times out of three. If you voted with the median voter in every election since 2000, then you voted for a Democrat every time except 2004. To have also voted for Bush in 2000 and Trump in 2016, you must be more right-wing than most Americans, but there's no election where voting for the winning Democrat made you more left-wing than most Americans.
