I have consistently moved further and further to the left because my politics are not based on what might benefit my individual family economically more in the short term.

Prof in username, guess he keeps moving left out of either fear of losing his useless job or because the left is the only way he can grift a larger budget for whatever useless crap he’s pandering to students. Magically the more a field becomes dependent on government gibs the more leftist it becomes.
