Just abandon the labels. You'll get nowhere trying to say, "those people are X not Y, Y is much better." No since in being tribal with a group of people who are so diverse they will always fail to meet you expectations.

Person over party.

It's not "just a label," it's a political viewpoint. Liberal/conservative aren't just funny sounding words we made up to describe different "teams." They actually have meaning behind them and describe a general set of held principles. It's perfectly normal to want a different word for a different set of beliefs.

I also didn't make any value judgments. I didn't say that my views were "much better," I just said that I don't identify with leftist political views.

So Google Corporate HR has gone socialist, then? Or perhaps they've adopted anarcho-syndicalism?

I eagerly await the next Google Doodle featuring Rosa Luxemburg and the Spartacist uprising.
