I get your point but only to a degree to be honest. I think more people are purple than purely blue or red when it comes to individual views on things. If you asked me for my opinion about a certain set of issues you'd probably think "this guy is absolutely a left-winger!" However, if you asked me about another set of issues, you'd conclude "this guy is absolutely a right-winger!"

I've personally learned to be careful about casually binary sorting people - life isn't that clean in my experience.

Eh. "Blue" and "red" are not the same as "left" and "right." Both blue and red are neoliberal (i.e. right wing) parties at their cores. There is no actual "left" in American politics to speak of at the national level.
