I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

    First, left and right are relative terms. We are currently in a fight for survival. If you want to die on the hill of your purity test, you’re welcome to. I’ll collect allies, people who may have the right values but incomplete information, and do what I can, and we’ll see which approach is more effective for the people, the workers.

      I am the people you’re talking about. I am not a leftist. I like capitalism and single payer healthcare. The government is just better at doing some things. I like mailmen too.

        Sounds like you’re just scared of the term leftist and what you believe it would imply about you.

          I’m not afraid of people who are wrong. I just know they’re wrong.

          Leftists, flat-earthers, Young Earth Creationists, none of them scare me.
