Oh yeah, completely forgot that.
Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?

Absolutely not. Type “Lamont Lieberman” (without the quotes) into a search engine for more info. Also “Clinton puma”.

I don’t even think Biden is left of the US center. Who the hell thinks Biden is left of center?
solrize@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Left of the US Senate center, or maybe the Senate Democrat center. Not the whole US. And I mean in the 1980s, not now.

Biden is certainly left of the US center.

In terms of what he got done, he’s easily the most left wing President since LBJ. Perhaps FDR. Whether or not that is defined as left-wing/leftist/liberal is a matter of opinion.

Left of global center? No. Left of USA center? Probably.

More Americans identify as conservative than liberal. It’s not something we have to like, and certain policies may be quite different individually, but in order to win nationally, Democrats have to defeat voters’ own self-identification. Obviously it happens, so this isn’t some insurmountable challenge, but the deck is stacked.
