    People are prone to bias regardless of their political identification. Identifying as left-leaning provides no more protection against bias than any other political identification.

      what it protects against is group ideology. I don’t want to start thinking things simply because the political party I align most with thinks that, and unfortunately, identifying with a political group can make people start doing that.

        The left isn’t anymore a political group than leaning-left is. Political parties have positions on the political spectrum, but positions on the political spectrum are not inherently political parties. What left political party are you referring to?
