Interestingly enough I always did research on both candidates right up to Romney. And I always voted blue. There are people out there who don't like either party and aren't on the right.

That doesn't mean you're neither left nor right
You're correct, I'm on the left.
I feel like it's much more often someone being called left when they're really a liberal, fash, red fash, etc.
Damn this hits. I've worked with a lot of guys who "don't vote, don't pay attention" that are defacto conservative in their beliefs.
Because if you don't pay attention you simply are ok with the status quo which is inherently conservative.

I'm left leaning but don't like to define myself as left because that can lead to bias
"defining" doesn't lead to bias. you are left-leaning regardless of what you decide to call yourself. The important thing is recognizing and acknowledging your predisposition, which it seems you have.

What a horrible meme... you're only escalating the divisiveness of current politics. Surely, people shouldn't be defined by political inclinations.

Oh, it's about the American political system. Well it's broken anyways, so that explains the many comments lacking any nuances.

Most of the time this exact meme is reposted by a red fascist zealot though
Economically I'm leaning right - I want the state to provide free healthcare, schools, universities etc but founding a company has to be easier, we can't afford to keep pouring 1/3 of our yearly budget into pensions on top of the budget for pensions etc.
Socially I'm leaning left - I don't care at all if someone is trans, homosexual, whatever, and want men and women to have equal rights.
So I am neither left or right. And there also is a party that aligns with most of my beliefs (and is against some others but there never is a perfect party).
The issue is that internet politics are often viewed from a USA-centric standpoint. When I say I'm neither left nor right (because it depends on the topic, as explained above) I see memes like that come up. Although my economically right views for my country would be far left from an US-american standpoint anyway.
