Sorry to double reply here. Just want to say that 'Left' and 'Right' isn't always so black and white. I probably fall on the left, but I think you would be surprised at some of the things we probably agree on: Wokism is toxic, I am pro gun rights, I like free speech and hate censorship, I am 'unvaccinated', UBI is a terrible idea, voter ID is not racist

What makes me left? Well, I'm cool with billionaires paying more taxes, and I really don't understand why so many republicans are anti recreational marijuana, seriously, who cares, it's nobody's business but mine. Also I like Obamacare because I needed to be able to buy health insurance when the dems fired me for being unvaccinated, and without it I would have been denied for pre-existing conditions.

Things are often more complicated than just left or right I guess I'm tryna say, I honestly don't feel as if either party represents people like me all the time

Oh yes, do not worry, I understand. Left and right are just words, really. The meaning varies entirely based on the context. In your case, you seem to be using more mainstream definitions. This sub is a bit different, though. Almost no one here would describe the Republicans as "right wing", although I doubt there are many who would describe them as left wing either.
