I find people have a desire to put labels on people when they can't actually defend the things they say they believe in. They create these labels that they lump people into and argue that when they are unable to actually address the inconsistencies in their beliefs.
It's not just a "label" to call you a leftist, you always support the left. Why does that bother you since it's accurate?
When I support the 2nd Amendment I'm supporting the "left"?
When I note I am pro-life I am supporting the "left"?
When I argue to balance the budget I am supporting the "left"?
When I argued that Hillary was a horrible candidate I was supporting the left?
Thanks for proving my point.
"When I support the 2nd Amendment I'm supporting the "left"?"
What does supporting the 2nd Amendment mean. That's too vague to say you aren't left. Leftists all say they support the second amendment. Then they say things like the second amendment protects government (e.g., the national guard)'s right to guns, which is moronic. Be more specific what gun rights you support
" When I note I am pro-life I am supporting the "left"?"
So you think all abortions should be outlawed? Again, be more specific
" When I argue to balance the budget I am supporting the "left"?"
Yet again, Democrats believe taxes should be increased to infinity? HOW would you balance the budget? Is our spending insane? Why don't you ever mention this opposition to Democrats unlimited spending
" When I argued that Hillary was a horrible candidate I was supporting the left?"
Lots of leftists admitted this. It's not really a right / left position, it's just obvious. McCain, Romney, W, HW and Dole were all horrible candidates
