    I’m left leaning but don’t like to define myself as left because that can lead to bias

      People are prone to bias regardless of their political identification. Identifying as left-leaning provides no more protection against bias than any other political identification.

      “defining” doesn’t lead to bias. you are left-leaning regardless of what you decide to call yourself. The important thing is recognizing and acknowledging your predisposition, which it seems you have.
