@allison @lewdthewides ahhh ok
I don't know how to describe myself in that sense, and I often don't feel like it because I'm worried about being ostracized based on whatever i say i think i am.
like, my family are very much labour orientated, I think my parents have only voted conservative once.
My dad is very anti-trump, and I always assumed he was pro-biden as a result, but recently I learnt he has issues with biden too, but whenever I talk to him about biden he seems to go on the defensive a bit and brings up trump. Seems like he really just doesn't like trump being there.

I for one don't really care about that. I should be more concerned about my own country than the US, even though US politics kinda strangles the internet wherever you go because the internet is very americanised/american centric.

The tories are definitely not going to see another 4 or 5 years in power after this next general election, methinks. Everyone's losing faith in them.
Labour in my opinion was its best under Corbyn, despite the antisemitism people say was evident there, I don't believe Corbyn is against jews personally. Keir Starmer is too much of a wet noodle and I feel like if he gets in pretty much nothing will be done, same as the tories really. Lost confidence in my own country's politics.

Back to what I said about being ostracised though.
I know obviously on certain spaces in society and on the internet if you mention you're right wing, left wing and other aligned people will not want to talk to you or have anything to do with you. Some of them will even go out of their way to harass or report you simply for voting for a right wing person or something like that.

What I want to know, and would hope, is that if I come onto a place like this side of fedi, which if I'm being honest seems to naturally have quite of a right wing orientation, I would hope that I don't immediately get people on my ass because I express "left wing" views. As if this happens, its hypocritical, because right wingers say its the left that's supposed to be "tolerant" and they meme about how it isn't tolerant to them

sorry for the long essay ahaha
