I have heard of precisely three people in American politics who are left at all, much less far left. Those are AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Zohran Mamdani. The left is certainly not dominating any primaries.
The rule of thumb I use is, do they say things like "win at all costs" or talk about how they want to dominate others, forcing their views on all Americans.
quality first comment buddy, leave that stuff on Musk and Zuck Social please
lots of top down rules for everyone, rather than the "trickle up" governance experiments we need to runin order to (1) figure out what works in practice (2) convince others they should try it to
the rest of us want debates and compromise
Person A: let's torture immigrants
Person B: let's not
Person C: whoa whoa hold on. Isn't there space in the middle that will please everyone? Let's only torture half the immigrants
There's a reason "enlightened centrist" is such a maligned stereotype. As stupid as person A is in the mock exchange above, person C is clearly even stupider.
