@Expecting_Words This makes sense when viewed from the US's political spectrum, which is to the right of center... even those on the left are still right of center in most cases.
Like, CNN has recently been talking about how bad unions are and how child labour is making a comeback, and it's not that bad. Neither of which are even remotely left...
But if it is based on US spectrum of anyone not conservative is on the left, then yeah... it makes sense using that starting point.
