I honestly think political spectrum/grid memes might've stained political discussion for my generation. People make statements like "because x is more left" but it's like, without more surrounding context that can mean absolutely everything or nothing at all. I wish people would compare policies or governments case by case more rather than using the 4 corner grid and assuming everyone else is on the same page on the placement of individual things. I've seen so many good discussions devolve into semantics arguments because of this, it's really frustrating.
