    …is left of the president on health care

    She’s taken more liberal positions on health care

    “More liberal” means “less leftist.” You don’t get to have it both ways, article writer!

          No, this seems a useful point to make. The rightward unforgivable sin that liberals make is their commitment to capitalism. It’s like vegetarians and vegans would seem to be bedfellows but vegans can not forgive vegetarians for not going the full rational distance.

        The terms “left” and “right” are meaningless anyway and should be aboloshied. It just entrenches thoughtless “us versus them” tribalism instead of making politics about actual policies and issues and how people are affected.
