No True Scotsman? But I think they're probably not life-long, deeply involved lefties. They're enough to give us what we have now tho.

And it's why its worth trying to fix the left. Win them back. There's always centrists willing who'll go either way based on issues.

And that's really how it should be done. How much credibility must the American Left have lost for someone like Trump to get elected?
-
Well the left didn't have a candidate in the race it was between a centrist and Trump
-
From my perspective as a Brit, yes. But different countries have different scales. I'm centre-left here. I'd be radical in Pakistan.
-
Yes and it's true for the US that it was centrist. So think left credibility in US not measure by Trumps win. Corbyns relative success works

Well, whatever you call the Democrats, then. There is a reason they were not electable & 'to stick it to the liberals' features highly.

Agree on that and I think a lot of the unelectablilty is because they are centrists so don't motivate enough people on the left.
-
But does that make them vote right?! Still better than conservatives! No, that doesn't explain the shift to the right.

I don't think it's NTS fallacy to say being on the left means taking a left wing economic stance.

But the left of what? The left moves according to what is the centre.

And that's a savvy trick the right have used for ages but think the left have finally grasped that and arent moving right anymore.
