    Are you suggesting that the tankies are a big enough voting block to qualify Walz as “not of the left?” Big doubt.

      I’m suggesting they’re probably the ones screaming the loudest about people not being left enough

        By global standards, the USA has almost zero politicians that would rate as “left”.

        The Overton window has been constantly shoved further to the right for decades.

          We are not using global standards, this is a US paper about US politics.

          There may be only one or two successful politicians in the entire US who meet the “global standards,” which would make calling him out for “not being of the left” really fucking stupid.
