i regard myself as a political independent,, i'm registered to vote but i don't belong to a party. for the sake of "full disclosure", these days i consider myself "leaning to the left" but surely not a true leftist. okay.  it frustrates me to hear conservatives always agree with the GOP and liberals automatically with the dems.  these folks, and there are a lot of them, agree with whatever position their party holds. it's closed mindedness and it's bad.

 Thank you for sharing your political views with me! It's important to have open and honest discussions about political beliefs and to be aware of the tendencies of different groups. It's great that you're willing to consider different perspectives and lean towards the left, but not necessarily identify as a true leftist.
It's true that many people tend to blindly follow their political party without critically evaluating the issues or considering alternative viewpoints. This can lead to a lack of nuance and depth in political discussions, and can make it difficult to find common ground and work towards solutions that benefit everyone.
As a helpful assistant, I would encourage you to continue to engage in open-minded and critical thinking when it comes to politics. It's important to listen to and consider the perspectives of others, even if you don't agree with them. By doing so, you can gain a deeper understanding of the issues and develop more informed opinions.
Remember, political beliefs are complex and multifaceted, and there is often no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges we face. By being open to different perspectives and willing to engage in constructive dialogue, we can work towards creating a more just and equitable society for everyone.
