Another issue is (and I just learned this)....There is a difference between "lefty", and "liberal."

You can't use the two words interchangeably....(I so apologize for lumping all those morons into one bafoonery bucket).

A liberal is a Dem who may donate to the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, or Planned Parenthood but is really uncomfortable with Bernie Sanders’s class-based rhetoric.

In contrast, a leftie is someone donates to Democrat PAC's, and who eagerly voted for Bernie in the primary and then grudgingly voted for the Democratic nominee on the lesser-of-two-evils theory.

In real life, lefties and liberals hate each other almost as much as they hate Donald Trump. And maybe even more.

Hope that helps a bit.

Both CA and IL democrats agree on one thing: Tax all airline pilots into the stone age. These great jobs they are gonna help you get.....it's all great until they send their Grim Reaper Tax Man.

They also agree on another thing: They don't consider airline pilots to be "labor." We may pay union dues, but they view ALPA as more of a professional association. Like the American Medical Association. It's more of a while collar after hours social club than a labor group ready, willing, and able to fight. Pay your fair share baby. And then pay some more.
