I was just called "radical left"

91. Well, I know I didn't see the other thread....

These listed here are all standard mainstream liberal positions. No one here could accuse THEM of being radical without accusing themselves. And probably wouldn't.

Wonder WHAT radical was the accusation about?

Radical can be a position outside the mainstream.

Radical can be a personality type prone to attitudes and behaviors outside the mainstream.

Moderates by personality can and often do support radical positions. It's not the position alone that makes someone radical.

Radicals by personality, in fact, often support very mainstream positions, radical only because they do it in "radical" ways, typically very passionate.

Btw, those on the ultra, extremist left, themselves a spectrum, can make radicals look darned mainstream, and often consider them just that. Like their less-than-admiring dismissal of Sanders' "revolution," to them hardly a deviation from mainstream corporatism.
