Every single democrat politician is “radical leftist [name]”
It’s the new communist. They just throw the word out all the time making it functionally meaningless.
They didn't like John McCain, so they lumped him in with the rest of us.
The upside of that is it works against their overton window dragging, if you are going to be called a commie leftist no matter what might as well lean into it
How does it work against overton window dragging if saying "maybe people should stop dying of preventable disease in the wealthiest country on earth" gets you labelled a communist? It's precisely the sign that the overton window is shifted to the far right
Sure wish the libs would get this
i think it works against leftist's goals we they lean into the straw man description of a tankie; it's turns off liberals a lot
