        Unsure how else to speak about my politics.

        Leftist, socialist, anarchist

        I helped create a leftist gun club in my community as many folks did not feel safe or welcome in other spaces. Due to politics of the day I didn’t want to join or directly affiliate with national orgs; SRA or Pink Pistols so I started a local group. We have contacts with both those orgs from other cities in our state but wanted to be separate. We affiliate, collaborate and welcome those who do not fit elsewhere.

        We united under leftist.

        There’s more of us than you think.

              I think you misunderstood. I’m not saying there are no leftists. But I am saying I can’t think of any leftists who are in favor of “world policing”.

                Fair enough. Establishment democrats are America’s left, but in any other country they would be center right.

      The only thing that makes them “left” is that they are not Republicans and that Republicans keep calling them left.

      Establishment Democrats would fit right in with traditional conservative parties throughout Europe. I could easily see Merkel of the CDU being to the left of quite a number of Establishment Democrats.
