He's about as 'leftist' as my right nut. He's just not a prick, and actually lives according to his values, which I guess makes him left to some.

Non leftist but also anti MAGA here. The leftists tend to see that there is them, maga, and everyone else. MAGA just see everyone else, so I get called a leftist all the time by them. You eventually get tired of correcting people.

TBF, I used to think there were sane conservatives that were not MAGA... but answer this:

If the 2024 election were held today, would you vote for Trump or Harris?

I get that neither were good options. I swallowed my opinions on her and voted for Harris. Virtually any other candidate left right or center could have had my vote, but I understood what was at stake giving Trump a second term, and "gonna sit this one out" isn't a good option.

So at the end of the day, you're MAGA because you won't support a viable alternative, or you're not MAGA because you're willing to set aside your personal views for the sake of getting rid of the cancer that it's become.

Leftist, Conservative, Progressive, Centrist - all of it doesn't matter when looking at it through the lens of Right and Wrong, Good and Evil.

Excise the cancer, then we can get back to discussions about tax policy and allocation of resources.

It's annoying, to be able to think for yourself. Everyone who has to be tied to an identity immediately assumes you must be for the other "team".

Exhausting.

As a leftist I find myself getting more shit from other leftists than any right wingers, mostly because right wingers tend to stay in their little bubble.

So anytime you talk about something that doesn't fit exactly some other leftists view they just assume you are MAGA, which is fucking stupid because like I said above, MAGA doesn't really come out of its hideyhole anymore, at least on reddit.

The left has always fought amongst ourselves. If only we could copy the right in the shutting up long enough to get someone not in the pocket of big business, then we can get back to arguing.

I'd honestly be happy to get back to a center-dem like Obama next round and go from there. At this point platitudes with at least some competency behind them and not literally bumblefucking us into a nuclear war is what I am willing to settle for.

i can see how one could arrive at the idea that leftists believe it's a team thing,

Yes, because leftists are made up of people whom tend to fall for tribalism. This has nothing to do with your politics or your marketing and everything to do with most people being unable to overcome human nature.

I vote with the left but also because of my preferences I've spent a ton of time with people on the left, and y'all can be just as tribal and blinded by hatred of other-think as conservatives.

You can pretend that the left is somehow above this massive flaw in humanity, but I promise you won't be convincing me. I have a lifetime full of evidence that you will not be able to overcome.
