- defrost 3y ago"extremely far left" by US standards, sure .. otherwise pretty moderate middle of the road.
- nwienert 3y agoBy which standards? Every country is different, even within Europe there are much more conservative countries than the US.

- ryanbrunner 3y agoHe's never run for political office or anything like that so most of what we can glean is from his shows, which for sure attack the right more than the left but don't advance their own policy proposals. The most overt stuff he has done politically is the late 2000s rally with Colbert which was very middle-of-the-road decorum-focused Democrat in tone, I don't think there's a lot of evidence for him being "hard left". If I had to guess, I think he'd be more in line with the Obama / Biden type camp than Sanders.
