There is not one lawmaker on Capitol Hill who is one millimeter to the left of the liberal center. Yes, there are small leftist political parties, but they have meager numbers and basically receive no votes.
In the political discourse we are bombarded by talk of the far left. Included in this fictional category are Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, et al. None of these politicians are a leftist. Bernie can call himself a socialist all he wants; I can call myself a world-renowned pastry chef, but this does not make it so. He is a 1940s liberal Democrat and nothing more. Same for AOC and the rest of the gang. It is true; the Democrats are moving to the left, toward the *center*. The second part is crucial. They are not drifting into some Marxist dreamworld. They are drifting slowly toward what most working Americans want. On the other hand, the Republicans are drifting rightward away from public opinion under the banner of “conservatism.” https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/02/23/there-is-no-left/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
