Just a reminder... no matter how much you listen or try to genuinely understand them.. this is almost always the outcome when you discuss things with a leftist... Either you agree with them, or they get offended, make personal attacks, and walk.
Every interaction I have with the left leaves me wanting to have less to do with them than the time before, and this is sad since I associate more with left ideals in many cases than right ones.

@freemo What do you consider to be the qualifying factors for a "leftist"? It could be that your observed outcome is a result of your definition.
@LouisIngenthron @freemo I feel like "leftist" refers to someone on the left who is skeptical of liberalism, e.g. communists or someone overcome by identity/oppression politics (I'll call them CSJ here).
I'm sure it's one of those "ask 100 people you'll get 100 different answers" kind of thing.
Most (though not all) definitions of the left would work here in my expiernce. If they are a "blue no matter who" sort of person, or even further left, and happen to live in the USA then there is a pretty good chance this applies.
