Opinions, they do very. Call'em as I see'em. I will not be beholden to any one political party or ideology, but believe sensible people can find common ground. Problem is sensible people are in short supply.
Are you predomantely a liberal or a lefty?

Conservatives do not vote for Democrats ---ever. If you ever have voted for a Democrat, then you are not Conservative and are a Leftist.
There two kinds of extreme liberals, one the progressive, communist extreme liberals who believe in riots, assaulting people, looting, burning, etc. The other, globalists privileged ones at the top of the extreme liberal food chain. These are the extreme liberal CEOs at the Social media companies, technology companies, and the filthy rich extreme liberals connected to the business lobbyists. They are the real power with huge hoards of monies to fund campaigns. They decide on the Democrat nominee and the policies they will enforce. RINO liberals are also, in cahoots with them so that, nothing gets done most times. That is until, President Donald Trump came along and turned over the apple cart. That is why they are trying hard to remove him.
Which is a fictional category dreamed up by some ignorant people in the US, unfortunately.
Exactly right---and I would add, with your permission, that Republican Liberals are the main problem with government .
Do you really believe Bush was a good choice? Reagan? The RNC has ran complete garbage for a long time. There were plenty of reasons to vote a democrat in while they were still pushing the free speech/expression movements. This new incarnation is radically far-left. This is a relatively new stance. The modern day Republican looks more like a libertarian and the modern day Democrat looks more like a marxist/socialist.
I would be willing to bet the majority of people who currently identify as "Republican" are generally classically liberal stay-off-my-lawn types. Believing in Laissez-faire capitalism, small government, and civil liberties such as the bill of rights makes you a liberal with near certainty. The classical Republican wanted big government to enforce things like religion-over-science, reducing civil rights "to protect the children", etc. To make the example concrete - both parties want to reduce your first and second amendment rights.
I would consider myself a right leaning libertarian. I am pro small government and believe strongly in state's rights. Any overstep of the federal government in terms of chasing spectres of "inequity" or stopping individual freedoms (such as a right to civil partnership for same-sex couples) is generally authoritarian in my eyes. Similarly "bake the cake bigot" is also authoritarian in my eyes.
In summary I just want to be left alone and not told what to do by either a far right or far left nanny state. I'd like to pay taxes in proportion to my representation in congress (approximately 1/300,000 of it's current net present value) but you know those congressmen with 40+ years in office need to afford their 9 homes and harvard educated children somehow.
President John F. Kennedy was the last real, sensible Democrat and you saw how mercilessly, they murdered him. Conservative here and will not vote for any Democrat. Democrats have created most of the problems of the US as a country with RINO liberals as their accomplice. That is why I give to individual candidates and not the RNC which is full of RINO liberals. We need more conservative Republicans to fix the problems of the US.
Reagan was fantastic. Both Bushes had some good moments and overall were very good. Gore would have been ridiculously bad. Trump and Reagan are among the top 5 American Presidents.
I lump all you ignorant dumb asses into one category couldn't care less what politicians you believe in or all this ridiculous "left vs right" bs. It's dumb guys like you that are messing up your country. Carry on with your master plan to infect the entire country with the Covid virus.
