I'm not saying to not ever look left. I'm simply wondering why that's the stock answer when we examine the right. It's classic tu quoque.
Also, I find that people tend to have problems with looking at the big picture. Blame it on polarization perhaps. People also tend to think in binary opposites, which makes looking at the big picture futile.
We can examine the left if you want. But can we not look at the right without people deflecting us to the left?
