Are you predomantely a liberal or a lefty?

[Tsing Tao]

Interesting. Let's see how many answer the poll. There are clear differences between both ideologies.

I'd be surprised if any answer the poll, much less answer it honestly.

I am absolutely a liberal. The labels are kind of silly, the real question should be do you have a general propensity to help less fortunate humans (liberal), or do you have a general propensity to be more about self (conservative). What conservatives call evil socialism is really just trying to make sure everyone is taken care of, granted the left goes too far in this regard at times considering the resources available. What I have always found odd is that conservatives tend to be more religious, considering the new testament is mostly a message about 'the least of these' and the golden rule, the seeming hatred of 'the least of these' by the right wing is strange.

You should have asked if they were progressive. That word sounds great but, used to hide their true colors of being an extreme liberal, radical Socialist or Communist in the mold of Mao Zedung or Joseph Stalin who killed millions.

Left=power first, Right=money first, Elites=self worship, Triage for everyone else.
China CCP is what happens after mating with both left and right.

There really are just 2 main categories ----Pro-American and Anti-American. The rest are subsets. People who call themselves liberals or vote for Democrats today are Anti-American. Conservatives are Pro-American.

I'm sure you do. You really should think about the absolutes you espouse, I know they feel good but they really aren't healthy. I don't think you're a dumb person, but thinking in absolutes is for the weak minded.

"The complexities of life are like fractions for the average fourth or fifth grader. The more odd numbers that exist in the equation, the more intimidating the problem becomes. The best remedy for habitual absolute thinking, especially when it comes to relating to others, is the practice of empathy."

I think he's an extremely dumb person trying to look intelligent online. His theories have been so bad lately it's the only logical conclusion. He's advocating everyone catch the virus, voting Republican exclusively as a rule for life, and that the only way Trump can lose the election is massive voter fraud.

There are no gray areas. These were invented for folks who like to sit on the fence to feel good about themselves. Gray areas do not exist.
