If you use a non-technical approximation of the term as the placeholder for the true bearers of liberty and freedom, then sure. As far as others considering them "lefties", to some people, a few checkboxes put you in a generalized "leftist/liberal/fascist/democrat/communist" category, which these people consider to all be the same thing. For instance: pro-immigrant, gay rights, and weed-legalization would be the end of the discussion for them. Their analysis is over and they don't care to discuss it any further. There's a lot of people like that. I meet them frequently.
