Perhaps my choice of the phrase "neutral political position" was not what others would have chosen.

I am trying to take a fact-based perspective in what I say and do.

Facts don't belong to either dominant political party in the United States.

The person you are responding to doesn't acknowledge that the Democratic Party represents the left wing in US politics, presumably because they aren't beholden to the small far left portion of its constituents.

I wouldn't spend time trying to justify your stance to him, which is a very reasonable one IMO.

You're putting words in my mouth that aren't there and I don't really think you're abiding by the "assume good faith" policy that HN sets out.
