I haven't come across any leftists who are willing to have a conversation. Tell them to come on here and answer this question, which I continue to try to get one of them to answer, "What is one policy of the Biden administration that helps the U.S., and what is one policy of President Trump that hurt the U.S.?".

I have leftist friends. I do take your point that there is still good in them in some respects, but they are following an evil ideology nonetheless. Maybe they were deceived into following evil, but the end result is the same.

You have "moderate leftist" friends. So, they can hardly be considered leftist. The "-ist" at the end of any word conotates extreme views for whatever group is associated with it, i.e. "Islam-ist," "centr-ist," "fasc-ist," "Social-ist," "Commun-ist," etc.

Most people considered "left-ist" are moderates, much like most of the rest of the American population. And because of that, they are part of the Silent Majority, but mainly b cause they're yellow bellied when it comes to countering the overall Democrat "ideology." They're afraid of being called out for it, and being n gatively labeled by their Party leaders, and Elit-ists, Antifa/BLM, etc.

And because they're so quiet about those extreme-ist views from the "true believers," it makes them complicit.

You really shouldn't speak up in defense of them. They're part of the reason why we're in the mess we're in. And it will continue unless WE call them out on it at every opportunity we get. It's the only way to get them to open their eyes.

I don’t believe that that ideology exists now, or certainly in most of those people indoctrinated through the education system of late.... That ideology has been replaced with The ideology of color...... in the same way Marxist ideology has replaced the bourgeoisie for ‘white’ and the proletariat with ‘black’ ....!
