      Our centre-right are not a problem. Our populist and far-right is and our far-left is sending more people to them all the time. That's what needs fixing unless we (and you) want right-wing government forever.

      The populists are right. The far-lefties are sending people right by calling everyone racist & sexist & refusing to acknowledge any problem with Islam & being generally mad. They don't become racist & can be won back.

      People message me all the time saying their values are still left but the left forced them right. Many have it in their bios. We just need to get the left sane & they will come back.

          She also faulted leftists for "refusing to acknowledge any problem with Islam," which means she's not even actually a liberal.

          Many of those people weren't "left" by any means. They might've been liberal, and idk if you know this, but liberals can be pretty ignorant of... well, their ignorance.

          Do you want the left to win elections? Or is it more important to have purity tests of who is and isn't a real lefty? Does it not matter if Trump gets another term if you get to feel that the remaining left is pure?

          For me it's not so much being forced right as finding unexpected common ground in the centre-right. The alt right, far right and religious right are still mostly nuts though, and even when they're somewhat correct they usually have a spin on it that ignores important subtleties.

          I’m with you. There is really nothing inherently wrong with being on the right. Disagreement is essential for democracy.

          I’m liberal and likely not left, correct. I am indeed progressive, just not the far left’s version of progressive so I don’t use it.

          Then they are the right. It’s not a purity test to reclaim the left and call out those who stole it in the 90s. Stay where you are. Fight for what you believe. Whatever that is. But you aren’t the left.
