    Agreed but you’re splitting hairs. My grandparents who voted for Biden aren’t really “the left” either.

    My ex who i’ve convinced to switch sides on this issue but is too afraid to say anything publicly because she doesn’t think she knows enough of the history to take a stance isn’t really “the left”, but she voted Biden too.

    Pretty much all of the Democratic leadership except Ilhan Omar.

    They’re not leftists but they are “the left”

      The “viable left” I suppose.

      Jeremy Corbyn wasn’t that left either, yet you go to one Hamas Terrorist funeral, and suddenly you’re a terrorist sympathiser and out come the photos at election time.

      Sure, you can be left in the West, but not in a way where you’ll get even a sniff of power.
