I feel like it's much more often someone being called left when they're really a liberal, fash, red fash, etc.

Interestingly enough I always did research on both candidates right up to Romney. And I always voted blue. There are people out there who don't like either party and aren't on the right.

I'm left leaning but don't like to define myself as left because that can lead to bias
"defining" doesn't lead to bias. you are left-leaning regardless of what you decide to call yourself. The important thing is recognizing and acknowledging your predisposition, which it seems you have.

People are prone to bias regardless of their political identification. Identifying as left-leaning provides no more protection against bias than any other political identification.

Damn this hits. I've worked with a lot of guys who "don't vote, don't pay attention" that are defacto conservative in their beliefs.
Because if you don't pay attention you simply are ok with the status quo which is inherently conservative.
Jinkies!
Most of the time this exact meme is reposted by a red fascist zealot though
