Or do you just operate on petty prejudice and emotional spasms, as in the post I am replying to?
I am on the left. It is hardly an insult.
When I say "I have seen more people who work in Washington D. C. wearing hats lately," do you assume that I do not work in Washington D. C.? Or that I despise hats?
Such an assumption might fulfill an emotional need but it isn't a reasonable way to think.
A "presumption"... do you think I have never read anything by the poster, or that the poster would be offended by the "presumption" that he is not a libertarian crack-pot or supply-side absolutist?
I was pretty clearly leaving aside economic gibberish from the right. (Unless one had an emotional need to avoid the obvious meaning in service of recreational paranoia.)
There are people on the right who do want to raise rates because they believe that our deficit spending must cause inflation in any circumstance and that rates must be raised to head off that imagined result.
The poster was suggesting that low rates are harmful, and I KNOW The poster is on the left side of the overall spectrum (as am I) and I was asking for what the reasoning for the position would be from a left perspective.
"a judgment passed on you"... no, there is not "judgment" in correctly identifying a person on Democratic fucking Underground as not being of the Right Wing. (And presumably not a judgment the poster would object to... there I go with the presumptions again.)
Un-fucking-believable.
