I skirt the line

When Dan Quayle was running for vice president with Bush Sr, I remember something he said about missing the days of yore, namely the '60s, and I agreed with him. There have indeed been great changes for the worse in our country since then. 

But he became vilified for expressing such feelings. I'm not sure where the criticism came from although I got the feeling it was from "liberals" and other so-called lefties. I had already soured on partisan politics after Bill Clinton was elected in 1992 and the policies that came out of his administration only tightened the belts of the lower half of the socio-economic spectrum, and especially after Hillary's medical reform fiasco for which I would never forgive her.

So this line between left and right, liberal and conservative are all blurred except in terms of economic policy which is more about progressivism and economic equity and political equality. I don't care about identity politics only economics. As listed in FDR's Four Freedoms, freedom from want and freedom from fear is what matters most.
