Now righties and lefties both hate me for thinking this way.

lol, leftists are against corporations privileges, you can't be leftist and support it. maybe they are not leftists, only declare themselves as leftists.

Lefties (maybe you're right about the distinction between leftists and lefties) have adopted neoliberalism as their mainstream ideology. It's like the worst aspect of capitalist economics mixed with the worst aspect of socialist economics. Lol and the worst aspect of liberal social values and the worst aspect of conservative social values. I guess the idea we both probably agree on is that leftist, leftie and liberal are all pretty distinct. Leftie, to me, just means democrat. Leftist and liberal definitely don't mean that. Semantics, I know....
