No. I'll give you the real explaination a lot of people have with the left, I hope you hear it but i doubt you will. This issue is the lefts inability to have a conversation with someone about a wide range of topic. The inability for a person to not hold an extreme position, 100% without question is unacceptable to a lot of people on the left that gets in the way of issues like raising taxes.

This can arise from many issues. Maybe someone on the left will say "We should have an open border policy. Being born in a different country isn't a persons fault, anyone should be able to go anywhere in the world with no issues" then if you raise, cultural or economic issues you get the equivalent of "reeeeeee you're just a racist. Why don't you fuck off racist reeeeee". Or someone who has gone through 10 years of male puberty shouldn't play sport with women because it isn't fair. That topic is not allowed you're just a transphobe obviously. When you say something should be avaliable to all people in a country irrelevant of sex or race. Then the left say you don't understand some weird metric to determining why one race or sex should get something at some level above another sex or race. Then the whole million different types of genders, but gender doesn't exist, then the inability to group things by sex which is something both sides agree on. The left quite frequently talk about the far right. But I think the far left a lot of people have an issue with but they are strung in with the left and it's bad for that movement.

It's not the lefts views on economics. For a lot policies I am very left, in fact Im probably more left than most people. But how that plays out on an individual basis talking to a left leaning person is like talking to someone mental. They hold views devoid of reasoning and then just resort to attacking a person. Whereas when you talk to someone on the right it's more "I think taxes should be lower so people keep more of their hard earned cash"

[me] "I disagree because I think the government should take more money and use that to do things that the public cannot, like build infrastructure or equal education for all"

"The government is inefficient. I get what you are saying but I disagree. If I have worked hard for my money and I choose to spend a lot of that on giving my kid an education then I should be allowed to, it's my money. State schools suck and I want my kid in a private. If people want to go to higher education then they can get a loan. I'm not responsible if someone wants to go to uni for a shitty degree. If its worth while then they will make money back and pay off the loan. If its not worthwhile I wont go and waste theirs or anyone elses money"

Me " I disagree but it is interesting to have a conversation with someone with different view and I see why you think that"

Right wing" it was nice having a conversation with you too"

Literally never talked to a right wing person that brought religion up once so I personally have no idea what you are talking about and that has absolutely nothing to do with my view I was talking about. Other people have different experience I'm sure, but I've never seen it.

As for your last point I'm not. I'm saying the left are isolating themselves.

The issue is we need more parties. I mean this as for the people.We need a party that is left wing economically but need a party that is right wing for what a lot of people unhelpfully group as "common sense issues" or we will just end up with right wing policies.
