My Facebook profile describes my political views as “very liberal.” This is a shorthand way of telling the world that I support gay rights, government-run health care, stricter gun laws, abortion rights for women, abolition of the death penalty, reduced military spending, environmental protection, campaign finance reform, the United Nations, Charles Darwin, the Toyota Prius, and higher taxes on people richer than me. Oh, and also, obviously, the public humiliation of fat cat bankers.
