Hi James, subscribed to you with interest as Left wing appears to have become a Dirty concept even in the minds of the working classes. I was surprised to see you describe Clinton as Left wing. Is this truly a label you would attribute to such an elite ruling class family?

Bernie Sanders.. yes a true and rare left wing politician in the states. But Hilary and co seem to far removed to deserve the badge to me.

It seems as if each of these politicians self sabotaged in their own ways. Which left me perplexed and questioning their motives.

I look forward to hearing what you have to say James. Good luck.

Hi Satyr,

Those are all fair points. I didn’t choose Bernie as an example, mainly because Substack is an international platform, and I wanted to use examples that everyone would recognise, regardless of where they live. Also, it was more about the party as a whole than the individual, focusing on how they ran their messaging and campaigns. That said, I completely understand where you’re coming from with that interpretation.
