To each their own, but I think the phrase “people on the left” may be better than “lefties”.

Lefties gives me the impression I know your opinion and political views well before the end of your thought. It weakens an argument that I actually agree with… even though I’m a lefty.

That's fair enough. I struggle with what to call them. I have been broadly "on the left" my entire life and I don't want to cede the terms "on the left" or "progressive" to these folks.
