    Up until that point, I was a naive centrist that thought sane liberalism would win out. That election single-handedly destroyed that view and slammed me hard to the left.

      You’re probably in the real center now, my understanding is American center is to the right, and their left is actually closer to center

        I should probably clarify that it slammed me firmly in the Bernie camp, but I’ve drifted even further to the left (broadly libertarian/anarcho-socialism) since then

          I’m slightly left of centre, but I am now voting quite far left to try counter the right swing we are most likely going to have with this next election.
