Compared to international politics the DNC is very right wing. The Overton Window wouldn't exist without the DNC pushing their party and the country to the right.

Obama acknowledged his policies would be viewed as moderate Republican in the 80s. Enabling right wing policies with their ratchet effect helps push the party further to the right.

He also acknowledged Richard Nixon was more liberal than he was.

We aren't talking about international politcs, we're talking about the DNC and when the right wing is carrying tiki torches and chanting "Jews will not replace us", NO, the DNC is NOT "right wing".
