      Jesus Christ this has been disproven so many times. No just because the people that push politics that are often to the left of most European democracy’s main left leaning party are old white farts too does not mean that they’re a secret center right pretending to call themselves a left leaning party.

        Jesus Christ this has been disproven so many times.

        Centrist Democrats have found their equivalent version of Bush Jr’s “terrorist sympathizer” accusation, and they’re going to use it as a cudgel against the left until it stops working.

        They do not care that the claim is ridiculous.

      But they considers themselves leftists, and their voters see them that way as well.
