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."

Um, akshually, have you even considered that maybe Bernie is also far-right??

Bernie is a Zionist, so yes he is far 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.

No, supporting colonization is right wing. They steal Palestinian land, that is an undeniable fact.

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.

This is not a thing that has happened.

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.

Biden is probably the most people Israel president the US has had, not enough people know his political history, it's basically why he was picked as Obama's VP.
