"moving far left" is not equivalent to "crawling into the gutter"

Being "far left" in America means you might be slightly left in Europe. I'm sorry but no. Being far left is not equivalent to being wrong, evil or anything else pejorative. Many here are "far left" and for the record, and though they don't realize it, many of the voters are much farther left than their representatives.
