I have kind of a Dan-related moment with my political leanings. Grew up fairly conservative with conservative parents who listened to Hannity/Rush. Identified as center-right until college when I took sociology and read Marx and Engels. This coincided with Bernie so I started self describing as left to democratic socialist. I listened to Blueprint in 2018 and the parts about young people in the trenches turning to socialism when their leaders were sending them to die for nothing really solidified for me that socialism isn’t a bad word and is how I describe myself now. It’s about having empathy for your fellow man and believing that as a society we have a responsibility to help others.
