.....what makes you lean Left and what links left-leaners to the Democrat Party?
They either think of themselves as outcasts, like faggots and blacks with inferiority complexes and all that....
.....or they think of themselves as victims......
......or they have been pumped full of leftist propaganda in schools.
OR, they are just plain idiots
What you should be wondering is why everyone is not a leftist?
Leftist or liberal originally meant one who supported individual liberties.
But the main threat to individual liberties comes from the wealthy elite, who own the factories, the rental housing, banks, munitions companies, etc.
So you will see leftists working against tyranny of the wealthy elite.
Leftists try to prevent wars, organize unions for fair and safe working conditions, help get more people to be able to buy their own homes, etc.
The real question should be why anyone but the wealthy elite would support the fascist agenda of the wealthy elite?
