I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    I once thought the Democratic Party in the US was liberal. Now I realize they’re slightly right of center (with some exceptions), and there really isn’t a truly liberal (or leftist) party of any note.

      It depends on the lens you’re using to look at the situation:

      Would you argue that the Dems are not Progressive Liberals?

      They are leftist depending on the definition. Classic left-wing was simply anti-monarch, pro-republic. In that regard the Dems are left wing. Are they Communists/Socialist though? lmao, absolutely not. They are WAY too focussed on social issues, in general.
