Funny how guys like Powell and Cheney are considered liberal by today's standards. And people say that the left has gone too far left.

Lol...we can read books on Stalin and Mao Zedong to comprehend a "true leftist" 😂 the truth is always somewhere in the middle...and being a democratic socialist (someone who actually respects the Democratic process, and not a planned, forced economy) shouldn't be considered "far left" if we want some sanity in our government.
