There is a lot of confusion and misconception when it comes to politics.

People will often put leftists/liberals/Democrats, and right-wingers/conservatives/Republicans in the same category. That being said, let's examine some things here.

First off, liberals, conservatives, right-wingers, and leftists are not even actual political groups.

Not all liberals are Democrat, and not all conservatives are Republican. There are conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans.

Leftists and right-wingers are in their own world. I've talked to liberals and Democrats who scoff at leftists ideologies, and conservatives and Republicans who scoff at right-wing ideologies.

Just a little info for you all 🤷‍♀️. Maybe we should just do away with all these labels since they cause so much confusion, eh? 😂

Get back to politics as being the pragmatic art of the possible where you talk to each other rather than slap labels and bumper stickers on everything. What a novel concept. Worked for a couple of centuries.

@dancingtongue Yes! This! So much this!

Again, labels, actually shine a light on what leftists are.
The left doesn't want the masses to actually know what they are.
You need to focus like a laser here.
The left is totalitarian, authoritarian, top down government control and fully incompatible with the principles of liberty and bill of rights.
Real liberals, libertarians and conservatives, ALL hold liberty as sacrosanct. The left is anti-liberty.
The sooner you become educated about the left, the sooner your eyes will be opened.
Throughout history, fascism has always been intrinsically intertwined with both socialist and communist governments.
The fascist dictator always finds a home in socialist and communist governments.
From Chavez to mussolini, Hitler to Stalin, Lenin to Mao, Castro to pol pot, etc....etc.....these fascist dictators ruled over socialist and communist governments. TODAY, we face the problem of left wing professors who literally change definitions of words, teach revisionist history, all to further their left wing political agendas and ideology. They have a naive student population that lacks the critical thinking necessary, to combat these leftists.
The press, media and academia, including the democrat party today, are controlled by the left.
True liberals are now in the minority.
Leftism is a cancer against any free society, especially our constitutional republic and our fundamental principles of liberty.
Labels are necessary.
Without them, the left can hide what they truly are, like a cockroach in the dark.
Time to shine a bright light.
The state of Virginia just voted out their left wing democrat governor. This got the snowball rolling towards November.
Time for the American people to clean house.
Alzheimer's Joe was the perfect candidate, a brain dead. Rubber stamp for his radical left wing administration.
Throw in left wing generals, a radical left wing Supreme Court justice, etc...
etc......an incompetent whore harris VP,
AND you have the recipie for the disaster we are currently seeing.
Stay tuned......

Rather than any of these labels why don't people consider the election promises, chose the ones you like best. They're mostly Republican vote that then. What? This year the Democrats promise to help you/the country more (whichever you value most highly) vote for them then. Holy shit! An independent has turned up and he's talking more sense than the others put together? You know what to do.
Do not vote for somebody based on party colour, your family have voted that way for 200 years, the rep is the best looking, or any other such nonsense.

@GeniUs
You are partially correct. But you are missing the point of the press, media and academia, ALL lying repeatedly about the trump administration over the past six plus years. AND STILL doubling down on their lies EVEN AFTER being proven to have lied over and over and over again.
So please forgive me for pointing all that out.
People who don't like labels, ARE HIDING and being intellectually dishonest. The other people who don't like labels, are just plain ignorant and easily duped.
Labels, in this case, ie...the left.
Are a tool to educate and inform.
Otherwise, you'd remain ignorant and duped.
It's gotten so bad, that they call themselves "moderates", LMFAO.
Cory booker called the new Supreme Court Justice a "moderate". LMFAO
Anyone who actually has a functioning brain, knows that this new justice to the Supreme Court, is indeed a radical leftist.
The bullshit propaganda has gotten so bad, permeated every nook and cranny, that only the people with critical thinking skills, actually see it.
I'm here to inform you that the left wing in this country, IS completely incompatible with the principles of liberty and bill of rights. The current administration is run by these radical leftists. You can choose to believe what you want. But I'm providing crystal clear clarity here. I've studied politics and history longer than you've been alive. And I've seen the rise of the left coming for decades now.
Half this country is becoming increasingly aware of the left.
I'm a firm believer in telling the truth about the left. Those who don't like labels, continue to be duped by the massive propaganda machine that rules their lives daily.
Take care.

bradhuskers · 56-60, M

@GeniUs
Instead of calling each other names and exchanging insults, how about learning the difference between "insults" and being duped and manipulated by bullshit propaganda.
Because those who have studied politics and history longer than you've been alive, fully understand the propaganda that's brainwashed half this country.
President biden, vp. Harris, and every top Democrat, has spread left wing bullshit propaganda daily. Since President trump announced his candidacy back in 2015, the entire democrat party has called him a racist nazi, and half this country of weak minded sheep, actually believes that bullshit propaganda, including yourself.
Thousands of bullshit stories have been run every single day. THAT'S the very definition of "brainwashing"
Again, it's all around you, whether you choose to believe it or not.

GeniUs · 56-60, M

@bradhuskers Mate, I'm not even American and as much as you have written here none of it addresses the point I made, it's all pro Trump propaganda. Nope I'm not brainwashed but oddly enough you are acting the very thing you're trying to transfer onto me! And yes accusing people of being brainwashed is an insult so don't try talking your way out once you have executed the deed.

bradhuskers · 56-60, M

You are spot on accurate.
However, let me add to your astute observations.
First,
True liberals, libertarians and conservatives, ALL hold liberty as sacrosanct.
Focus here. Focus like a laser.
The left is totalitarian and anti-liberty.
They are authoritarian and government control.
You said that we should do away with labels? You couldn't be any more WRONG.
LABELS provide clarity. Crystal clear clarity.
The left doesn't want a light shining on what they are. As it stands, they are literally incompatible with our constitutional republic, our principles of liberty and bill of rights.
The sooner you understand that fact, the sooner you'll be able to identify the HUGE difference between leftists and REAL liberals, libertarians and conservatives.
Again, we hold liberty to be sacrosanct.
The bill of rights to be sacrosanct.
Our constitutional republic, to be sacrosanct.
We believe in
"E plu ri bus u num"
From many, to one.
We are made up of all races and creeds.
The left wants to divide us along every possible line.
Divided we fall.
Labels prevent the left from brainwashing the weak minded masses.
Shine a light on what the left really is, and they scatter like cockroaches.
The more you educate yourself about the left, the more disgusting they are.
Throughout history, fascism has always been intrinsically intertwined with both socialist and communist governments.
Fascism, Marxism, leftism, socialism, communism, etc....etc....etc.....are ALL collectives. They seek to break the human spirit. It's a cult like mentality that destroys ambition and drive.
All thru history, the fascist finds a home in socialist and communist governments.
From Chavez to mussolini, from Castro to pol pot. Hitler to Stalin, Lenin to Mao.
etc.....etc......etc.......these fascist dictators ruled over socialist and communist governments. NOW, TODAY, the huge problem facing our future generations, is left wing professors who teach their left wing revisionist history and bullshit propaganda. They literally change definitions of words, lie about governments. THE press, media and academia, are controlled by the left.
Today in Canada and Australia, we see these left wing fascists actually seize the bank accounts of private citizens.
People are finally becoming increasingly aware of the left.
Only the brainwashed masses continue to be duped and manipulated.
Again, as a true conservative and libertarian, I LOVE true liberals. But the problem is that the democrat party today, is controlled by the left.
Stay tuned..

@latinbutterfly
And I fully understand what you are saying. HOWEVER, if you aren't aware that the left is totalitarian, authoritarian, and incompatible with our principles of liberty and bill of rights, you may need a serious reality check.
Again, true liberals, libertarians, and conservatives, ALL hold liberty as sacrosanct, the left is anti-liberty.

bradhuskers · 56-60, M

@therighttothink50
Everything you said is 100% correct.
Thank you for your insights and astute observations. The left relies on the Indoctrination, and manipulation of the weak minded masses. The press, media and academia, including the democrat party, use bullshit propaganda to literally control these weak minded sheep.
The American people are making progress though, as Virginia just threw out their left wing democrat governor.
Stay tuned. We are snowballing towards November.

bradhuskers · 56-60, M

@latinbutterfly
I respect the way you think.
However, that being said, I will always point out facts about how the left wing is incompatible with our constitutional republic. Again, REAL liberals, libertarians and conservatives, ALL hold liberty and the bill of rights to be sacrosanct. The left does not.
Left wing politicians openly speak about tearing down our constitutional republic and replacing it with their own manifesto.
The more you educate yourself about the left, the more you'll understand how incompatible they are with our constitutional republic.

BlueVeins · 22-25

I mean the labels are pretty useful, the issue is that people (especially conservatives, let's be real) often don't take the time to learn and understand them. They're just a really easy way of seeing roughly where someone's coming from when we engage in conversation.

"Don't take the time to understand them", end quote.
Are you kidding?
I just got through explaining to you about the HUGE difference between leftists and REAL liberals.
I am the one with a complete understanding and crystal clear clarity.
It's YOU who really have no clue about the HUGE differences between leftists and REAL liberals.
See, this is what I mean.
The left wing loves voters like you who are deeply and utterly confused about what they are.
Again, conservatives, liberals and libertarians, ALL hold liberty as sacrosanct. ALL hold the bill of rights to be sacrosanct. Today's leftists want to tear all that down.
When you become really and truly educated about what the left is, your eyes will be opened. You'll have crystal clear clarity. Unless of course you yourself are duped by left wing bullshit propaganda. In that case, you may be a lost cause.
But I digress..........
Millions of people are duped by the left.
And if you are as well, good luck.
I've explained the HUGE differences between leftists and REAL liberals.
I've explained that conservatives, liberals and libertarians, ALL stand united against the government control left wing.

A horse can be led to water, but you can't make him drink.
You have to learn for yourself.

One final thing.

Remember all the "FACT CHECKERS" over the past six plus years?
They were caught spreading false information as well .
THAT'S how easy it has been to dupe, Play and brainwash half the country.

@TinyViolins
Here's the thing.
Today, the left controls the democrat party. They have publicly spoken about tearing down our constitutional republic, our principles of liberty and bill of rights. Anyone who doesn't understand this reality, is either ignorant, brainwashed , OR BOTH.
Libertarians and conservatives hold liberty as sacrosanct, the left wing democrat party, does not.
True liberals are in the minority, they no longer have the power, the left does..
At every level of government, from city, state to federal, the left controls the democrat party.
Again, liberals, libertarians, and conservatives ALL hold liberty as sacrosanct, the left does not.
The left is totalitarian, anti-liberty and wants to tear down our constitutional republic. The fact that you deny this reality, speaks to your overall mental state.
