Quote

I grew up in a household that was very left wing.

I'm literally an independent. Apolitical. So that I am not always going to be with the Left's perceived interests or the Right's perceived interests.

Even though I'm a leftist. I think the left eats its own.

I've always been very suspicious of the left-right dimension in politics.

Democracy fascinates me.

I guess intractable right-wing ideologues are my mortal enemy.

Frankly, my politics are pretty left of left.

I have equal contempt for both left and right radicals.

My politics are very centrist and sometimes, especially when it comes to foreign affairs, lean to the right.
