    I’m saying that his stance is not “far right,” and is instead embraced across the political spectrum

    Words cease to have any meaning if “far right” just means “things I don’t personally agree with.”

      And I’m saying that decades of the “left party” moving to the right doesn’t make conservative viewpoints suddenly the average and acceptable behavior for any Democrat.

      You’re literally arguing that we hold the party standard to the person furtherest to the right, but they’re not really on the right because a D is next to their name.

          Look up HWs pressure on Israel and the resulting ceasefire, then look at Bidens statements on Israel and decide for yourself which is further right.

          Not hard to define anyone as far right when the defining line in your head is wether or not they chant ‘death to America’ 5+ times a day.
