   Thanks to 200 years of suppression but especially the COINTELPRO era and the 1980s, almost noone in the US knows a leftist unless they basically are one already.

   The fascists in this country call Harris, and actual Cop basically, a left wing radical. Shes closer to Eisenhower than to you or me.

     Me patiently explaining to my brother what I mean when I say I have far left views: "you could call it 'anarcho-communism'. Say it with me slowly. A political graph would call it "the libertarian left". I believe we can create better societies built on cooperation instead of greed & authoritarian control.

     Him: "but the left wing hurt me."

     Me: when?

     Him: *names things the truly evil bank he used to work at did, things the Biden admin did, & things Democrats said to pollsters."

     Me: 🤦♀️
