Reply #13: I've moved further left [View All]

[nonconformist]

I had always considered myself more of a moderate. I was always socially liberal but took a more moderate stance fiscally. Over the last few years, I've moved further left in both areas and now consider myself a Populist.

There are a couple of main reasons why:

1. I'm more informed. The more informed you are, the more you realize how bad Republican policies are for America and her people.

2. Injustice breeds extremism. Capitalism and fascism breed radicalism. It's hard not to be radical when you have no voice and you're being shit on all over the place.

That said, I'd have to attribute 90% of my move farther left to simply being more informed.
