Indeed they did, Chad (or is it Neo now? 
). Without Godwinning all over the thread, that's exactly the type of misclassification I'm talking about. The obfuscation of goals through adopting inappropriate labels is not a new tactic for political extremists at either end of the scale yet it's one that people are still falling for. How does anyone fall for the lie that Hilary represents the left? How does anyone fall for the lie that Trump represents the working classes? Because people don't understand classifications and how hey can be abused so they fall for the rhetoric. As per my previous post, bringing the conversation back to the issues helps make things more clear and means that the layperson doesn't need a deep education in politics to make sense of it all.
