righty tighty lefty loosy

Refers to threads on a screw, nut, bolt, etc. To tighten, you turn to the right (clockwise). To loosen, you turn toward the left (counter clockwise). A few exceptions exist, notably old propane cylinders and some pipe fittings.

leftiness

A gradual shift away from liberal or progressive causes, usually brought on by an election year.

Wishy washy lefty

someone on the far left of the political spectrum who doesn't understand the subtleties of the world and how society functions. Tend to study Social Science and gender theory. They believe in defunding the police.

Why has that wishy washy lefty started a campaign to close the local police station. don't they understand how the police contribute to society?
