    Are you an American? Because the only Americans who call people “leftist” are using it in a pejorative sense.

      The only people who think leftist is a pejorative are conservatives. Hmmmm…

      Call me a liberal though - and I’ll probably ignore it because it’s not worth explaining the difference to most people who will do so. But in my head dem’s fighting words. And ironically, I think there are many who also identify as leftists who would think I’m not left enough to call myself a leftist.

      Signed, a Leftist.
