As someone who leans liberal i am constantly depressed from the toxicity of the left making it impossible to have productive and fruitful conversations... they have been so abusive to anyone who isnt on the most extreme left end of the spectrum that everyone has been pushed away to the extreme right.

There is no healthy community left for constructive conversation or criticism on either end.

Inb4: no the republicans arent innocent in this, but lets worry about us.

I'm a left liberal non extremis on the political compass and feel completely without a political party to call home. It's almost like they think "oh, you can't have a party, you're just the stereotypical floating voter" but that's not true. I need an anchor, a cause, a call to action, I need fucking agency!! I cannot trot to any poll to ballot for authority, liberty, society, or nation, until they understand this.

@swagpussc @freemo what would be wrong with the Scottish National party in your case?

Their terrible record of governance at local and national level, mostly. I vote for SNP MP Chris Stevens and MSP Humza Yousaf in my local elections but only as a vote for Scottish Independence from the United Kingdom, just as I was raised to "Vote Sinn Fein when things are okay, SDLP when they're not" back home in Occupied Ulster.
