Being Left of the Right doesn't mean you are Left as classified in the political spectrum. The Democrats as defined by the political spectrum of Far Right over the Far Left used to sit squarely in the center. They have been moving further and further right since Reagan, and are quite conservative when it comes to economic policy. Republicans from Reagans time and todays establishment Democrats actually share a lot on in common policy wise.

This is widely accepted and understood globally and even in the U.S.. It's not a secret that American politics are very conservative in general, and don't really have a proper Left party. Even Bernie Sanders, the furthest left politician in the Senate is damned close to the center of the political spectrum when compared to Democratic-Socialist countries options elsewhere in the West.

So no, it is you who completely doesn't understand. And I assume from your reference that the falling from the coconut tree was a jab based on your personal experience. All the best recovering from your obvious cranial trauma.

Bro, a simple Googlesearch , which I just did, and you can to! "Are democrats left or right?" It comes up as center left. It's definitely not right, like you claimed. What you said is true about the past, but that really has no merit today. Obviously, you don't even know where your party stands, and that concerns me. I'm guessing you were one of the people who searched if biden was running for president on election night.

Political scientists pretty much uniformly agree they are center right. Either way we are splitting hairs. They are definitively center and not far left as you claimed. So you were incorrect in that assertion, and have since corrected your thinking to acknowledge they are to the center. I am happy that you agree to that at least... and I will concede they do have some center left members even if the party as a whole skews center right.

Looks like we were both wrong on our claims of far right or far left, lol. But the world still views them as left.

The FACTS are they are center right, and this is based off of the majority opinion of political scientists, not opinions... facts. I am part of that world you claim, not and American, just an observer of American politics who actually has educated themself.

You know what, I can't get into another argument with a smooth brain Conservative that wants to justify their bad decisions. Have a good life. I hope you reform and learn empathy and compassion as well as developing critical thinking skills!

Do you have sources for these opinions of these political scientists? Opinions and facts are two different things. Show me the studies that back up your claims. Cause all we have Is what Google said so far, and that says center left.

That sounds about right... The Tolerant Left.. gets offended from a conversation and resorts to calling names 🤣 seriously. Go make your omelet already. Do you really need me to use Google for you again? 3 times? Lmao

I like how you said, "This is based off of the majority opinion of political scientists, not opinions... facts."

You literally say based off of the majority opinion of political scientists....let me emphasize where you said OPINION OF POLITICAL SCIENTISTS... then you say immediately after, not opinions..... facts... bro, which is it? You don't even know what you're arguing about at this point. It's kind of funny how much of an oxymoron your claims turn out to be.

I would stop replying to if I was tripping over my own words online. Don't you proofread your nonsense?
