• The only reason I included the mention that I’m on the left is the hope that I would be offered some charitability or grace.

    There it is. “I’m not actually left, i just use the label as a smoke screen to conceal my propaganda.” Hey, admitting it is the first step to recovery.

      No, I’m saying the reason I included the mention. I will often omit it even though I am left. The only thing you’ve done in this whole thread is attack how left I am. That’s it. That’s your only prerogative. How is anyone supposed to voice a difference of opinion on this team?

        Well, for starters, they could avoid claiming “team allegiance” and let their arguments stand or fall on their own merits.

        Or they could acknowledge that “The Left” isn’t just one thing and explain what they mean by their allegiance to it so as to square their claims of affiliation with the policy positions espoused.
