If you’re angry with the left and vote right, you ain’t left to begin with.
I’m tired of Americans calling left of far right to be left. Left of far right is still right you know.

We know. Everyone knows. It’s just how we refer to the Democratic Party here. At this point, I think the only people who don’t know the difference are the ones wouldn’t care to make the distinction in the first place. Getting upset over it makes about as much sense as getting upset at British people for calling a sweater a jumper.
Use “liberal” and see how that goes.
You’d be talking about the right wing party in my case (Australia - the Liberals are the conservative choice)
Nobody ever went right because they were “betrayed” by the left. That’s like going gay because of a bad breakup. Most people who legitimately feel betrayed by the left go further left.
What the right does cultivate is false grievance against the left. And this “walkaway” narrative is fake news.
The crucial thing to remember about leopards is that when they decide to eat your face, it’s not a betrayal. It’s a leopard, it doesn’t grasp the concept of betrayal. You have a face, and it eats faces. It is simply that time of day, and you picked a bad place to be.
Both should be tiny dogs
I will never vote right but some of the leftists I’ve met irl are the most insufferable cunts you can imagine. Definate difference in people who don’t like the status quo and the other who want to impose their “perfect economy system” on everyone with no regard of how that would actually work or look. Like lefty magas
If you pay enough attention, you will notice that the difference between extreme right and extreme left is only in the politics they worship. They are the same.
Remember, the non-extreme on both sides generally want similar outcomes, but seek them through differing ideologies. Both are likely part right and part wrong.
Then there are the other non-extreme ones that have an agenda of self-enrichment and are their own variety of evil.
I personally believe more (not all) of those lean right, but I acknowledge I am influenced by my own political point of view.
Betrayed by the Left
If you used a rightwing compass to define your politics, you probably weren’t “left” to begin with.
You’re probably confusing a liberal.
The right revolt all the time, maga, the libertarian movement, and the tea party all sent the politicians falling over eachother to try to be what they thought the base wanted.
Republicans fear their voters, democrats despise their voters.
It’s more like the actual leftists don’t really vote, so the democrats don’t cater to them. The corporate wing of the party actively tries to push them out.
If the leftists got organized and started voting out dems in the primary these people would change their tune.
