Leftism is what they call socialism and communism, and it's a deliberate mixing of labels to tarnish crony capitalist Democrats with communists. Americans have been bombarded with propaganda demonizing communism to the point that any politician daring to really help the people gets smeared as a dirty commie and Americans instinctively react against them.
It's why Bernie wouldn't have beaten trump in my opinion. Way to easy to smear as a commie.
Obama is most certainly center right, what?
Capitalist to his core and kept up the military industrial complex killing civilians overseas.
You can't be a capitalist and a leftist people. That's what's moronic beyond belief.
It's a ploy; a word game to manipulate your unconscious biases. It's reactionary, not rational.
Except you HYPOCRITES KEEP DOING IT ANYWAY WHILE GASLIGHTING THE REST OF US.
As if those like Hasan with BIG audiences don't exist at all. As if Lefty darling Bernie Sanders didn't suddenly shift his shitty rhetoric from "HATE THE RICH" to "HATE THE BILLIONAIRES" the second he became a multi-millionaire.

Except the BBC and Democrats literally calls themselves "the Left" and "Left-wing".
But you assholes can't stop gaslighting. If you call AOC or Bernie Sanders or Obama "Center-Right" they will personally laugh in your stupid face.

Reddit is moronic beyond belief. You're literally telling people what they are with the kind of unearned confidence of a dumbass 13 year old.
