do i agree with kyrsten sinema on the issues?

i live very far away, but she's been around for a while, and she seems kind of refreshingly left-wing, in comparison to the recent rightward movement of the democratic party, as a whole. i understand that she's been controversial, but i agree with almost every position she's taken, and in ways that are actually pretty profound, and because she seems more ideologically aligned with the left, rather than despite it. she's a good representation of where i stand on the spectrum, to the left of the party, as a whole.

you have to keep in mind the weird language that they use in the united states, and the confusing use of terms like 'conservative' and 'liberal'. i'd actually call her a left-libertarian, from what i can tell, in the sense that she's on the left where it really matters and in favour of individual liberty where it really matters, too - which is about where i am, as a whole, as well.

so, i mean, i grasp that a lot of fake leftists are going to look at her and recoil, but, for me, that's exactly the point - she's reacting against a movement that i don't like in broadly the same way that i am.

although i'm sure we could find things to argue about, too.
