    Daily reminder that the Democrats are a center/center-left party, not liberal.

      They are liberal. Liberals are right-wing.

      You think liberals are left wing because one of your liberal parties is holding marginalized people hostage in a 2-party state.

      No, both parties in the US are liberal. They’re both neoliberal specifically, by definition.

      little bit further to the right, really - they’re center-right until they’re inconvenienced, at which point they start moving rightward

      Reminding yourself daily of a thing that is demonstrably false seems bad. The amount of negative descriptors that can be applied to doing that is a bottomless void without end.

      If the Democrats are so centre-left why hasn’t Pelosi gone on The Adam Friedland Show, huh? Ever thought about that?
