Political affiliation is such a multi dimensional concept; reducing it to the labels of ‘left’ and ‘liberal’ serves only to downsample the space into something simplistically palatable; a tasty morsel to satiate our baser tribalistic instincts.

If anything, things would be a lot more civil if we conversed about specific beliefs or policies rather creating a symlink between one view and a thousand other tangentially related views and calling it some ‘ism’.

“Leave or conform” what a beautiful world it would be.
