The labels "left" and "right" have left people like us politically homeless.
There are many issues that my friend who are traditional leftists and friends who are far right agree on.
Thee are also right wingers who disagree on many issues and lefties who disagree too.
When someone talks to me in terms of those labels I immediately dismiss them now.
If their political thinking is Pepsi and Coke I don't want to waste time talking to them.
"Us vs them" mentality.
