This seems ambiguous to me, I can interpret this both as asking whether I believe Team Red/Blue memes are correct about the population at large or whether Team Red/Blue memes apply to me specifically. Could you clarify?
Yet another ambiguity is that both “teams” have a mix of descriptive and normative ideas, and some people might believe that descriptive components of Red memes are closer to being true but that normative components of Blue memes are closer to being ethically correct (what people should try to be). Or conceivably, the opposite, but since Blue memes are more idealistic and Red memes more cynical it is unlikely that anyone takes this position.
Neither? I intended it to mean whether you’d consider yourself part of the corresponding ‘faction’ - provided such a faction makes sense to you. After all that what was meant in the post, or?

For example, I lean towards simultaneously agreeing with both the descriptive claims in this and the normative claims in this.

Anyway the poll is screwed now.
