      When I left it was arguably a leftist echo chamber, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Democrats and liberals left en masse with the changes over the past year or two

            Democrats in the US are centre-right. “Normal” Mitt Romney/GWB Republicans are far right. The current GOP is, without a drop of hyperbole, full-on fascist.

            There is not any leftist political coalition to speak of in the US. Bernie Sanders is about as extreme as they come in the US- and he’s maybe center-left at his most extreme.

              Bernie Sanders is about as extreme as they come in the US- and he’s maybe center-left at his most extreme.

              This is based on policies he pushes for, right? I always got the impression he would push as far left as possible, which with today’s democrats means “center left at best”.
