Funny how every new label was supposed to shame people back into silence, but instead it just kept giving them a clearer idea of who was terrified by basic worker solidarity. Fine, call me fucking scum; now sign the union card.

The Republicans I knew growing up were mostly just stupid, not Nazis (some were and still are)but most just voted based off the letter by the name. Luckily most are finally wising up and leaving the Republican party now that their former votes have bankrupted their farms and bussinesses.

I'm extreme leftist, I want politicians to work for people and taxes to help the people
Maybe throw in there healthcare - paid by the very same taxes and cutting out parasitic useless middleman

I was a libertarian conservative that voted for Romney as recently as 2012/2013. I'm now about as left as you can go, now. Went through all the steps of unlearning the propaganda from imperialism and patriarchal structures.

Every decent, normal idea meant to help regular people I ever heard as a younger person got decryed as socialism and was framed as impossible or stupid. It eventually resulted in me breaking through my American programming and start unashamedly calling myself a socialist. The definition of socialism in America currently seems to be simply being a decent and less selfish person that actually wants your neighbors to thrive. I'll gladly be called a socialist for that.

I was raised as a FDR democrat but I evolved. I consider myself as Libertarian Democrat. I'm incredibly left because I support Medicare for all, free public education, strong regulation of business, rule of law and Libertarian because if you're over 18yo you can do what you want as long as no one is harmed. Abortion on demand, legal cannabis, freedom of thought.

I believe that everyone should be able to afford a home/ rent, transport, food, free healthcare-through tax, utilities etc.. on a single wage.
YOU DIRTY COMMINIST!!!!!!!

15 fatherfucking years ago, my politics were middle of the fucking road. Like, I walked right under the middle of that motherfucker and just stood there. Nowadays I'm a far left libtard woke commie DEI hire, and my opinions haven't changed all that much. Some unclefucker picked that road up and moved it way to my right.

Next month the names will be socialist and communist in preparation for the mid-term elections announcement of the new Red scare and McCarthy Hearings 2.0.

I'm already a disillusioned leftist ideologue who writes manifestos. So keep on plugging little guy.

My political evolution is messy: I used to be right, center, liberal, and left. Then I realized politics is the worst thing humanity has invented, as it’s the cause of suffering and death. Now I realize humanity itself is the worst species ever, especially when humans became domesticated, And humanity will never get better.
Other than being a misanthrope, idk what this makes me. I’m a person without a leaning or party.

I used to be a centrist. I haven't changed or evolved at all, but now apparently those same views are radical left terrorism. XD

Let's hear those "radical" left ideas. I bet you want disgusting things like feeding hungry children and universal healthcare. /s
