What is a Leftie?
Been called it a few times.


Can those that are right of center, get together and please come up with a definition.
Huh, can ya.

Those that are right of center and do not use the phrase, Leftie are exempted from this onerous task.
But heck, offer an opinion if you wish to.
 
A "leftie" is someone who is left-handed. You're welcome. :)

Well I guess that depends. Have you ever, at any point in your life disagreed with anything a conservative has said, regardless of how great or small that point may have been? If the answer to that is yes, then you are in fact a "leftie." You may even in fact be somebody's "left wing friend."

Sorry.

If you care about people, you're doomed to fall under the dreaded "leftie" umbrella. My condolences.

It means you're left handed. Don't let it get you down. We're not as oppressed as we use to be.
 
"Leftie" has been a term used by some on the extreme right to describe anyone to the left of them.. It actually used to mean something, but now it seems its been replaced to be just a partisan hack term.

Good job, my leftwing friend.
 
What if you care about corporations

They're real people with real feelings.
If you sufficiently prioritize subjective concepts over actual humans you may be able to avoid the "leftie" mantle.

The extreme right has usurped a term? Would that make them Hackies?

if somebody called you a lefty, or a righty it simply means you won the argument or they had nothing rational, objective and honesty to post.

I die a little inside everytime the Democratic Party is referred to as a "left-wing" party. Pure ridiculousness.

Both parties were extremely right-wing...

Most political terms in the US have been usurped by the extreme right. In no other country or any other time period, is libertarianism described as corporate feudalism and private restrictions on natural resources. Nor is conservatism described as heavy religious theocracy and warmongering. Nor is the term 'socialist' applied to jerkoffs like Hillary Clinton. Or communism attributed to the fascist regimes of the mid-twentieth century (Stalin, Mao, etc). Liberals here even express support for corporatist Keynesian economic policies and central banking. So on and so forth.

I feel like I'm pretty close to center, but I have been called "right" by extreme liberals and "left" by extreme conservatives. :shrug: I'm neither, really, but I guess it's relative.

It all depends on the other person's point of view.

Well you live in Alberta so on a map you are left of me I guess that makes you a leftie.
Ok its a stretch but pphhrogg already picked the low hanging fruit :)

But it is still funny to watch you write.
 
Both parties were extremely right-wing...
They were actually quite liberal...
descendant's of doesn't mean they are anyway.

Right and left usually pertains to economics and power structure, their political philosophies and bases are very similar in both cases. It's more of a reference to who should have the power.

social authoritarianism and libertarianism is different.

Back then the "left" was accused of being monarchy-apologists very similar to how todays left is accused of being national government-apologists. I remember criticisms of Obama being a "King".
