Ironically you didn’t write a thoughtful and substantive comment whereas parent clearly expressed his opinion in detail. If you disagree with any of his points, which you clearly do, I suggest that you share them so we can have a conversation instead.

I’m not even American but just making a note as an outside observer.

I didn't comment on them because one, there's a lot there, and two, they said they didn't want to have a debate.

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.
