Whatever side of the wing it is, I love it when it I can dip it in sour cream. So tasty.

I have way too many left and right wing opinions to be classified as either.

I consider myself quite left winged. I am pro choice, I'm mixed race, LGBTQ, anti gun, anti war, I believe in many social reforms from ending homelessness to helping the disabled to prison reforms, and so on.

However I do believe that we need a strong police force to maintain order, it's just that they need to be properly trained. Also a tweet or a comment or anything that you made 7 years ago shouldn't get you fired from a job.

I'm also only allow the death penalty to people who did the worst crimes imaginable and there is a mountain of evidence that proves that they are guilty.

Progressive here: I think Republicans lack coherent economic policy, but I will say, the political correct culture is where Democrats lose me.

I hate this. There's no "one" left wing, and no "one" right wing". It's possible to agree or disagree with people on a number of issues without being on a side. Economics, social issues and the Human Studies don't have to be inextricably linked.

But to answer your question, as somebody who's an affirmed Socialist, avid affirmer of Women's Rights and huge believer in a Welfare system ,I believe trans issues are a mental health problem.

I don’t know where this lies on the spectrum but public school teachers should earn less, not more

I’ve voted for the Dems and Green Party often and political tests put me pretty far on the left for social issues and economics, but I 100% think that the American Left is absolutely useless on most their solutions to gun violence.

Basically everything put forward by the loudest voices involves either criminalizing the millions of fellow citizens that never have nor would have committed a real crime, or a system that is completely bypassed by the precedent set when someone is bent on murdering people.

My family had virtually no money at all along and lived in a dangerous country and I’m still happy to have been born. Also the “buh wha about poor people and rape!!!!????” argument doesn’t work because almost all abortions are done simply because the mother doesn’t want the child

Which transgender means they are behaving closer to their preferred gender. No trans person is saying that they are no longer the sex they were born as. Just not the gender they were raised as.

Also I find it hard to believe that people in power who say that they are "Pro Life" when they are actively working to:

- Imprison or execute women who access safe abortion care.

- Tear babies away from their parents and lock them in cages, with no plan to reunite them.

- Silence doctors and strip reproductive healthcare away from millions of low-income people.

- Stand by while the maternal mortality rates skyrocket and women who are in poverty die in childbirth

- Deny affordable healthcare coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.

- Cut programs that feed hungry kids.

- Block access to HIV testing and treatment across the globe.

I can go on.

“Evil rapepublicans denied funding to a massive multipurpose bill that included 1 million dollar to world hunger NGOs so I must carve my child to pieces and sacrifice him to Baal!”

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?
