I completely agree, and I usually describe myself the same way online because of how left some people are. Someone center left here is very left in reality on the American (and probably Western overall tbh) spectrum.
I think there’s a saying that intelligence is the ability to consider a conflicting idea? It’s almost always worthwhile to consider what someone’s saying because there’s no guarantee I’m actually right. The exception is things like “hey maybe the Nazis weren’t so bad”, and those are just absolutes where I can firmly say absolutely not. People just put too many things into that category sometimes.
