Is there a difference? I had never given much though that there is a difference between the two terms, except that “lefty” could be considered more derogatory, but that both terms referred to the same set of beliefs.
Apparently I was wrong. Read an interesting column on the liberal/lefty difference.
What I want to know is if Boulder is full of liberals or lefties? I vote lefties, I’m sure the Boulder lefties would claim they are “open minded” middle of the road liberals. Of course, that brings us back to the “25 square miles surrounded by reality” thing.
