    I’m certainly not a “Liberal.” They are not the same thing.

    Libs in the USA are right-of-center. Examples in my mind are Pelosi or Schumer. The ones who kowtow to business interests and pay lip service to social injustices while doing nothing in their personal life or legislative maneuvering to support it.

    And while I agree the bidirectional “left” or “right” thing isn’t ideal, and the Compass method is only slightly better, I am far better described as Leftist than I am anything else. I fall more inline with the Scandinavian countries’ left than that of the USA’s.

    As a leftist pinko card-carrying Democratic Socialist of America, I can’t agree that Tankies are on this side of the fence. I think they’re all either brainwashed or trolling… Either way, they have no idea what they’re saying most of the time.

    That being said, they’ve ruined the ability for some of us to give honest constructive criticism of the American left.
