I hate that the left is so hell bent on creating division among itself and allies with this "nobody is left enough for me;" bullshit.
My point was more that there shouldn't even be labels such as left, right, conservative, liberal, etc. Putting everyone into these little boxes and arbitrarily pitting them against each other only serves to create problems where non existed and solves precisely nothing along the way.
There can't be division if there are no groups for people to be divided into. There can't be any of the "nobody is left enough for me" bullshit if there is no left or right.
The only true purpose of these labels is for those at the top to divide those at the bottom so they keep their silly little power a bit longer. I for one, fail to see a logical reason to continue playing this game.
Just because you apparently don't have any strong political opinions and the status quo works fine for you, doesn't mean that everyone else's opinions are "arbitrary". What an ignorant thing to suggest.
I'm not disputing the validity people's opinions and beliefs, only that it's unnecessary to place a label on everyone based on those beliefs. What's arbitrary is insisting that we are different than those people over there just because they think xyz should be zyx and deciding they are the enemy based solely on that supposed difference.
Also, the status quo is to have a left vs right and to push everyone to one of those sides. Kinda exactly what I'm arguing against.
