Leftist != socialist, especially in the United States where in context someone like Justice John Roberts is seen as a moderate, and most politically mainstream democrats (pre Bernie) would be considered if not rightwing, at least centrist leaning toward conservative in many other Western countries.
- forapurpose 9y agoI generally agree, but Roberts is certainly considered to be conservative, just not all the way to the right like Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch.
