What do you mean by incorrect? Because you're asking us to prove/argue that Left policies are incorrect. By correct/incorrect do you mean:

Moral/Immoral?

Right/Wrong?

Fair/Unfair?

If we can agree on judging policies, platforms, ideologies and beliefs on a shared set of criteria, then we can move forward, otherwise we're just shouting at each-other.

You can tell me all day long that it's fair for me to get my stuff taken away without my consent by an entity because I got born within it's "borders"; but that won't make it fair for me within my moral framework, irrespective of how much I deplore the suffering of the poor and unfortunate and want to help them.

The comment I responded to said:

> in my opinion it's artificially solidified their confidence on how "correct" they feel they are about political topics.

I was wondering what topics these were.
