Am I still a left winger ...
... if most of the billionaires I hate now "identify" as left wing?
Does it help if I also still hate Donald Trump?

Stalin identified as a Commie, but out-Hitlered Hitler.
Jesus said, "You will know them by their works."
Oh, and, Fuck Trump.
Welcome to the world of Left-handed Politics.

Re: Am I still a left winger ...
Well, I don’t see how billionaire hate on it’s own could possibly disqualify someone from being considered a leftist, and I do consider myself a leftist/progressive.
I suppose context could be important, like if you are full of Soros hate in particular, I would find that confusing.

I'm looking for an indication of some intelligent thought behind the question ...
... and I'm getting nothing.

Re: Am I still a left winger ...
I'm tired of identity politics in general. Am I liberal? yes and no. Am I conservative? yes and no. I feel like labels are more meaningless than ever. It's like trying to compare Cowboys fans to Steelers fans. Are they different? yes and no. Are they the same? yes and no. Can you tell anything about me personally because I'm a Cowboys fan? hell no. All you can glean from that information is that I identify as belonging to a particular group.

Re: Am I still a left winger ...
Seriously, though, I dunno. The center has oozed far enough to the right during my lifetime that many of today's wild-eyed leftie nutjobs are essentially mid-1950s Republicans.
Also, if hatin' billionaires is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
