I'm one very definite leftie, of that I'm certain. And I've majored in Economics, and Accounting, but I do remember in year one we had an entire topic arguing on reasons why the two are neither a Science or an Art, so you could fit me in the Arts degree box if that makes you feel better. I am self made to the extent that I am the first and only in my family to go to Uni or earn enough to get out of the poverty cycle, but I do think, perhaps due to my upbringing, that more needs to be done to reduce societal inequalities. I also do think my success is more attributable to luck than anything else particularly because my intelligence (if I have any) is a function of genetics and environment, both factors outside of my control. On most societal issues I do lean towards the left. Be it marriage equality, climate change, racial justice/equality, and the role of governments in society. If anyone holds differing opinions, I don't begrudge, we can debate and agree to disagree. But I'm not afraid to say I am a leftie. To the OP maker, you don't need to cast aspersions on how to ID a leftie, just ask, we are here, not hiding or pretending to hold other ideologies. So no need to waste your effort with bullet-points on uncovering a leftie.

Reading that...perhaps the defining characteristic by which to identify a "leftie" is civility.
