When I watch the news especially the alternative media I can not help but notice the constant use of the word lefties or leftists when describing the Trump protesters or even certain sections of the mainstream media. The usage of this word bothers me some people are even describing Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama as lefties or leftists! Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama are not lefties, leftists or left wing the left wing is about fighting the establishment, the corporations, aristocrats and bankers I didn’t see Obama do any of those thing during in presidency, the only people he fought was Libyans and Syrians!
These so called “left wing” Clinton supporters cannot be real left wingers because real left wingers fight for equality, welfare and human rights. Jeremy Corbyn is considered a left wing extremist by most of the “left wing” media in the UK but is Jeremy Corbyn far left? Or has Britain become so right wing in nature since the 60s that moderate left wingers like Jeremy Corbyn now appear to be extreme lefties to the average Brit?
I consider myself to be a left winger, I consider Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama to be lying, corrupt puppets of the right wing. The real left wing is nearly dead in mainstream politics and when somebody (like Jeremy Corbyn) do express left wing opinions and ideas they are dismissed as lunatics or not a realistic option.
These Clinton supporters and Trump protesters seem to believe they are fighting for equality and justice but they’re not! If they were they would not have been Clinton supporters in the first place.
The media (especially the alternative media) are presenting these people as lefties but they are not lefties. Most of these people are just ignorant if they were fighting against the corrupt oppressive political system and the lobby masters that control it I would support them all the way but if they believe that Hillary Clinton is any better than Donald Trump they’re wrong, she is worse or at least as bad.
It's very interesting post!!
Thank you for sharing :)

Totally agree, American politics has no left wing, the closest to it is Bernie and he is politically centre ground. Sadly most people now have listened to so many years of lies about the real left they don't know what it is anymore. I mean they had GOP voters calling Obama a commie and just showing their lack of understanding of politics.

I think the media just say "they're left wing" and people believe it without ever really understanding it.

They have to have a left and a right as they can't admit it's right wing and far right.

Stop calling them lefties because left and right is a divisive construct designed to make people choose a side, and prevent the people uniting.
We need to get left and right, red and blue, democrat and republican out our mind. It is only us-the enslaved and oppressed, and them--the enslavers and oppressors who conceived the idea of left and right to stop us from realising we are the same, and taking them down.

What shall we call them then? I opted for the the term "leftist", because they are clearly of a communist authoritarian bent, and not in the least bit liberal, which derives originally from the Greek word Liber: of or having to do with the free.
So if these political terrorists are authoritarian and totalitarian, and most people don't even know what those words mean, what can we call them that carries the desired meaning in current parlance. Given the current level of consciousness, we need something with a maximum of two syllables. How about tyrants? This is another Greek word of which the people don't know the meaning. Perhaps we could just call them sh*t mongers, but this is two words and too many syllables, and most aren't going to know what a monger is anyway.
Any ideas or thoughts?

After 5 minutes of hard thinking the only words I can think to describe these people are either too offensive or not offensive enough, I like the term the walking dead but like you say its too long.

I agree. I'll keep trying to come up with an apt descriptor.
