      I’ll make it easy for everyone, the left starts at anticapitalism.

        No, this seems a useful point to make. The rightward unforgivable sin that liberals make is their commitment to capitalism. It’s like vegetarians and vegans would seem to be bedfellows but vegans can not forgive vegetarians for not going the full rational distance.

          No, vegans and vegetarians do have some things in common. Leftists or socialists and communists have absolutely nothing in common with Democrats or Republicans. Democrats would rather punch left to preserve capitalism

          It’s a little bit more like saying I’m a vegan too because I like almond milk on my milk steak.

      The terms “left” and “right” are meaningless anyway and should be aboloshied. It just entrenches thoughtless “us versus them” tribalism instead of making politics about actual policies and issues and how people are affected.
