Thanks for your reply, Glenn, long time reader and admirer of your work. I have to disagree. It is not just semantics to label political factions. AOC is rhetorically left, which does not make her a leftist by any stretch. She flirts hard with regime change coups and folds like a cheap suit in the face of her party's power. There are very few leftists in politics... Kshama Sawant is the only one I can think of.... perhaps a few others dip their toe now and again, but the term "left" loses all meaning when spread thin enough to cover any DemonRATS. Sarah Palin is to the left of AOC on the important issue of Assange's torture and imprisonment.... gob-smackingly enough! While (if) I have your attention, I wonder what you think of the fact that the DemonRATS sound so much like the Sarah Palin of yesteryear with all the Putin under their beds hysterics?
