And remember that it's not an insult. Even a lot of science depends on taking an irrational position to discover things. Doing irrational things in life can sometimes be way more rewarding than doing rational things.

Trying to explain to someone that their take is not evidence-based though... most jump to the conclusion that you're saying they're wrong.

Sorry I'm from Canada and we have an actual political system still and not a charade. Trust me everywhere outside of the U.S liberal still means progressive. Your 'liberal' centrism is unique. We call that conservative.

Afaik someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the Democratic party used to be the fiscal conservative party in the 1800s

Because brain-rot conservative media told him being on the left was bad

Bro you went full anti-china, you can't do that here (spoiler alert care-bears, your government is a dictatorship and has nothing to do with socialism)

It's funny because technically abortion shouldn't even be a right vs left issue (has nothing to do with economic policy). It's just like that in the U.S because of the ridiculousness of their binary political system.

Sounds like they've been bought then. Usually when a party starts throwing their weight around for morality policy (which shouldn't be a thing in politics anyway) it means rich people are paying the bills.

Like, if you get dunked on everywhere on the internet you go maybe take the hint your beliefs are generally frowned upon and may not be correct.

I'm not sure how to explain that social security and public housing and public transport and corporate regulation are socialist policies lol. I knew this even before high school. Not decrying you because I agree with everything guy above you said, but you guys are certainly hanging with the wrong crowd.

If you're in the U.S or a lot of places, both sides of the government are conservative. There is literally no left option. Not sure what Labour is like in the UK.

That's liberal. Far left liberal in fact.
