How have you successfully brought people to the left?

I live in the US and it’s very hard to find leftists because most people here just know republican vs democrat and think those are the only two options. I live in Florida and most of my friends are liberals I guess (but none are zionists). I have a friend in California and she is the one who aligns with me the most politically.

A lot of people where I live think its intellectually superior to just describe themselves as a moderate because they dislike both parties and think that being a moderate/apolitical is the only way to escape the two party system. They’re not really aware that the political spectrum of the US is mostly right leaning, even liberals.

I met my boyfriend (21M) last year and I thought he was a lot more left leaning than he actually is because he is agnostic/atheist, said that if he could vote in the 2020 and 2016 elections he would have voted blue but for last year he was unsure because he thought that both parties were both terrible. At the time I assumed he meant that because both parties were zionists, but now I’m not really sure what he meant. He also watches Hasan sometimes (who I don’t really watch anymore but I agree with a lot of his views on current topics) so I thought he was left leaning.

It turns out he doesn’t like either party and describes himself as a moderate, but I really think that’s just because he doesn’t realize that other options exist. I don’t even think he really understands what I believe politically because it seems like he thinks people can only be republican, democrat, or moderate. He also didn’t vote last year. I was thinking of showing him youtube videos by second thought because that’s what helped me become more left leaning but I’m really unsure.

What have you guys done in the past to show less political people your perspective?
