I feel like it's much more often someone being called left when they're really a liberal, fash, red fash, etc.

Interestingly enough I always did research on both candidates right up to Romney. And I always voted blue. There are people out there who don't like either party and aren't on the right.

Damn this hits. I've worked with a lot of guys who "don't vote, don't pay attention" that are defacto conservative in their beliefs.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Because if you don't pay attention you simply are ok with the status quo which is inherently conservative.

I'm left leaning but don't like to define myself as left because that can lead to bias

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

"defining" doesn't lead to bias. you are left-leaning regardless of what you decide to call yourself. The important thing is recognizing and acknowledging your predisposition, which it seems you have.

People are prone to bias regardless of their political identification. Identifying as left-leaning provides no more protection against bias than any other political identification.

on reddit, there's a place that requires you to flair yourself with your political compass, flaired myself centrist (after someone said "FLAIR UP!!!!!"), someone said "NO YOU'RE NOT!!!", later took the political compass test, came out centrist.
guess what i am now, given where i currently am
