What you describe as "left leaning" is actually just "not fascist", "not racist", "not misogynistic", "not xenophobic", "not homophobic", "not transphobic", and "not supporting a pathological malignant narcissistic liar".

The right should just clean up their act if they're so butt-hurt about justifiably earning those labels.

It's like complaining that it's not fair that the vast majority of scientists are liberal. That's because the right wing chooses to be anti-science, anti-education, anti-choice, anti-intellectual, reality denying, conspiracy theory believing, climate change denying, and vote for someone who ignorantly claims injecting disinfectant and popping horse dewormer pills cures COVID, and legal Haitian immigrants are eating dogs and cats and geese.

and the profession is also populated by people that went to specific universities, in specific cities and have a specific voting record

that's the standard people are using and can be corroborated

So what? That's an incoherent irrelevant response that doesn't address any of the points I raised. Are you just trying to pull off "The Weave" by emulating Trump? You do realize that's just a lame excuse for incompetence and dementia, not an intentional debate strategy, don't you?

I don’t care about the conversation you were having with the previous persons actually

It was a response solely to your first paragraph about what left leaning might be in contrast to, when it’s also true that everyone else is like “or their voting record”

So that's an incoherent irrelevant response that doesn't address any of the points I raised, and you admittedly don't even care about the conversation or have a point to make, you're just incoherently doing "The Weave" to hear yourself talk, not participating in an actual conversation with anyone. Sorry if I interrupted your tangled thread of demented consciousness. Please proceed with your warp and weft unraveling, Sir.

I added to the discussion, when viewed from a differing but valid perspective. after your long, unnecessary exposition and diatribe, I pointed out that the shared concept of “left” people were referring is simply their voting record, schooling and geography.

you are the only one hoping for a fight or debate. you got it from some comments, naively assuming everyone that isnt affirming your feelings is a far right extremist, and somehow you have grouped this comment thread in with that immature pursuit

you sought to define what the “not left” is, as if suddenly it will matter and the senate will pass the filibuster for your party of choice instead of being 50-50 for 10 years straight, and I sought to define what everyone else was talking about: the journalist’s voting records.

but sure, keep trying your approach, its working so well.
