imho using any political label is a giant waste of time.
When I see folks arguing over whether someone is a ‘democratic socialist’ or a ‘Left Liberal’ I just want to shake my head.
Look at the famous 1956 GOP Convention political platform. None of those people would have called themselves ‘social democrats’ but that’s pretty much what they wanted.
I’m a pragmatist who votes for whichever major candidate seems to be best. I don’t vote for Third Parties anymore because the Third Party never seems to draw votes from the GOP.
