I don't mind being called a liberal, but it does bother me to hear others label my well-researched facts as crazy liberalism, when they should just be called common sense.
- Supporting the funding of family planning facilities like Planned Parenthood, as well as comprehensive sex education, which provide young adults information and contraception access to improve the odds of making better decisions and decreasing the chances of unwanted pregnancies and abortions isn't liberalism; it's common sense.
- Supporting equal, yet improved education for all students in order to improve their chances of being successful and earning a livable wage isn't liberalism; it's common sense.
- Believing that climatology experts are more educated on our climate than I am, reading consistent studies of melting polar ice caps, rising temperatures, not to mention rising sea levels, and concluding that global warming/climate change is legit, isn't liberalism; it's common sense.
- Believing that revolving our tax system around saving the top 1-2% the most money and believing that money trickling down to the other 98-99% isn't going to happen isn't liberalism; it's common sense.
- Believing that more unchecked guns leads to more gun violence isn't liberalism; it's common sense.
- Going to professional fact-checkers, who get paid to check the validity of made claims, over debunked conspiracy theories, isn't liberalism; it's common sense.
- Believing equality means equality for all and not a select few isn't liberalism; it's common sense.
I never researched issues with the intent on becoming a liberal. I was branded a liberal because, when I researched issues, I took facts as they were and built my opinions off them.
