it's possible to criticize your friend, without being his enemy.
this left right crap is so tiresome, and it's obvious it's like some trained reflex at this point because people can't just speak from a viewpoint without the other person fabricating an entire worldview and backstory of assumptions about them.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76729315 For one thing, too many people tend to tap dance around their political orientation. In some ways, they treat their liberalism or conservatism the way homosexuals/bisexuals in the past treated their sexuality.
People just need to be upfront and honest about whether they're of the left or right.
I notice you haven't come straight out and said point-blank, "I'm of the left." "Or center." "Or right."
Why that is, I don't know for sure.
However, you may be like various people who tend to treat the topic of their left-leaning biases - at least in this forum versus some place in Hollywood/San Francisco/NYC - as a political version of an adult admitting he gets aroused when dealing with young children.
People just need to be honest about themselves and others.
