Except it does. Overton window has shifted. The formerly far-left policies of progressives are either current mainstream talking points or quickly becoming them with no sign of slowing down.
Just because your political chart test puts you on a left quadrant doesn't mean that's where you are in the real world. You've been othered. The left has put you out. You're in the pit. It doesn't matter what your views actually are. To them, you're a far-right Nazi and you are never going to convince them otherwise.
See, that's where this little thing that comes in: I don't care what apeshit morons have to think about me. I'm a fire-breathing liberal, of the left. These authoritarian racists can scream all the want, it's not going to change who and what I am.
Maybe if this was the 90s. Just because your views haven't changed doesn't mean things around you have remained the same.
If your positions on politics puts you to the right of every major Liberal and Leftist party in every Western country, you tell me where that puts you.
Hint: it doesn't matter if you think the Liberals aren't liberal or the Leftists aren't actually leftist.
