I'd meant to indicate I was answering a question without interest in further political debate, but it came across very dismissive. Apologies.
I’m not even American but just making a note as an outside observer.
I guess in hindsight they weren't even necessarily stating their positions on these things (although I think the way some of it is talked about is revealing).
Honestly I don't even know that I disagree that the left has moved left, but I don't think I'd express it without some major caveats, because politics feels very convoluted right now.
Generally, I think id agree that the democratic parties positions haven't shifted much and that there's a greater visibility of things I'd consider far left, but I don't know to what degree these are just shifts in visibility and how closely tied the party is to the base, vs which are actually tied to underlying changes in views.
In particular, "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."
