Very leftist point of view. Just gave MSNBC talking points. "Ted lied. Religion is bad. Capitalism is evil. Bernie obliterated him. We should be more like Europe." Did I miss anything?

  • Yes it is. Lol left·ist noun 1. a person with left-wing political views. adjective 1. having or relating to left-wing political views.

  • It doesn't. Why must I use the term liberal over leftist?

  • [quote]It doesn't. Why must I use the term liberal over leftist?[/quote]Because liberal has an established understanding and usage. Leftist is used because the -ist suffix makes it sounds scarier like "communist"

  • Leftist is more of a broad term. Not everybody on the left is liberal.

  • You can use the term rightist to make it sound more like fascist if you want. Speaking of communism you never answered my question the other day as to why you're opposed to allowing insurance companies to work across state lines.. can I get an answer on that?

If you use "liberal" then people know what kind of political views you are referring to; leftist does not have the same understanding.

And that's fine. You don't have to.

  • It's because he's knows there's no logical reason to restrict insurance companies to cross states lines. It would damage the idea of single payer.
