Poll
Question: Left vs. right; liberal vs. conservative: are these terms still relevant?
#1
Yes, and they still mean about what they did at the time of their 1790s French origins.		  
#2
Somewhat; they mean different things today but still an important political distinction.		  
#3
Barely: with Greens, Libertarians, etc. we need to redefine the political spectrum, though L-R still plays a part.		  
#4
No, these terms need to be abolished as they are no longer relevant.		  
#5

"Left and right" has always been a reductive way to look at politics, but it's even more reductive now.

Very much this. The media basically pushes that the definition of conservative is whatever republicans want and the definition of liberal is whatever democrats want.
