Funny how throughout my over 11k karma points the only comments that get downvoted without reply or clarification are ones that underline slightly left leaning viewpoints with facts.
I'd love to know the factually wrong parts of what I say, so I can avoid saying it in the future and maybe even adjust my world view accordingly. This happens with many issues I discuss, but when it comes to (on the european political spectrum) slightly left leaning topics there will always be certain people that downvote based on political orientation alone.
I think generally what we see as "slightly left leaning" ends up being "extreme left leaning" seen from the eyes of the US, as "center" politics in Europe would still be considered "left" in the US.
Basically, the baseline of the entire country leans so far right, that anything outside of the right seems at least slightly "leftists" in US politics.
All true, no worries. You cannot change world views.. to me it is always and everytime again really amazing how much some even generally liberal people, especially in the US, despite sometimes non-arguable facts.. as soon as it is a bit left (or not even that, just labelling it as such) it just either cannot be, or must be bad.
