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