I think that's the case with most people, but then I don't understand why these terms are so important on the political scale.

It seems to me that these terms should not be used at all to discribe a broad group because they do not apply across the board to any one group of people.





I agree but I think it persists for two primary reasons. One people like to be part of a group and have a "handle" that quickly describes their outlook on life (i.e. anyword ending with -ism). Second, it is extremely advantageous for the people at the top to limit political options to two general choices. Divide and conquor.
