@kctipton Again why would I go into examples when i have no reason to think it would be a fruitful discussion... but ok if you really insist on going down that road i can put out a few feelers to get a sense of if I think it would be productive to do a play by play and have a serious debate, to do that I need some sense if you are yourself on the far left first.

I can assume you subscribe to some, or many of the things on the left in terms of ideology, nothing wrong with that, but someone who isnt extreme left would show a balance, can you list some clearly right-leaning pieces of ideology you agree with that would counter any left-leaning ideaology you have?

Can you list any non-left politician you have voted for or supported for presidency (a republican, or even libertarian or right-of-center no-party candidate)?

While I think we both agree 99% of things Trump did as president was harmful, can you list anything Trump did that had at least some positive results (and no, doing stupid things ans strengthening support for the left or similar wouldnt count)? (honestly this one is might be a bit hard so not a huge deal if you cant)

In general can you give **any** examples of ways in which you might lean right on any issue or in any scenario, or do you generally just go straight down the left on everything 100% of the time?

I ask as a lithmus test to get a sense of if your even capable of having this conversation or if you are just fully team left in every regard, in which case it should be obvious why I wouldnt expect a conversation to be productive.
