Slide from my government class where Bernie Sanders is more left wing than China, Pinochet is extreme right wing authoritarian and Milton Friedman is a sweet right wing libertarian despite advising and defending Pinochet. Obama is more authoritarian and right wing than Washington as well.
I love how the definition of a moderate is always so funny. The ideology is “negotiating on immigration policy”. Biden is negotiating on immigration policy right now, that makes him a moderate by definition on that issue! Does he want that immigration policy more left-wing or right-wing than the status quo? Doesn’t matter! All that matters is the process of negotiation and the outcome is moderation!
I can negotiate between death squads, concentration camps and extermination camps - I’m a moderate!
