    I’m a leftist precisely because I started paying more attention and listening to both sides.

    I was a centrist before I started doing that.

      I was a leftist because my parents weren’t and I was a rebel.

      I eventually grew up and thought ‘this is fucking awesome’ and kept going.

      If you are paying attention and you have a drop of empathy then you’re almost guaranteed to be one.

      I thought I was a centrist, because it was clear to me that both sides are terrible, and going to kill us all.

      Turns out I was just a leftist all along
