That is a pretty gross misrepresentation of my words.

"If you want more left representation then you should just leave."

Is not anything I said. I said. If you want to be in a left leaning place, why did you leave the left-leaning place. "why not stay..." is a long way for "leave ..."

You're actually the one advocating for censorship/anti-first amendment rights right now...

Dear god. No. I'm not. If that's what you read in my words, then communication has failed.

Well I can accept that miscommunication occurred and that was the point of my post. I'm sorry if I twisted your words, it was not my intention. I understand where you're coming from better.

My main point remains, though. This user is not advocating for left dominance, they are advocating for equal representation of all views.

Imma going to condense it right down:

what is 'left and right anyway, but an artificial and imposed duality that has no real meaning is is actually destructively unhelpful'?

"Left" and "right" are meaningful as any other terms. All words are made up.

True, but in the context of American politics they're intentionally misleading and divisive.
