vlado literally used to be a communist. can't get more leftist than that.

i'll give you that ulti and extha were leftists in the american "pro-obama" sense, not in a hardcore leftist sense. ulti likes ocasio-cortez, though, and he supported bernie.

also, my point was that it's surprising that trump appealed to these guys, not that they necessarily were "leftists." even if obama wasn't a leftist, it's still a way smaller step from obama to hillary than from obama to trump.


I think you're joking, but none of them are leftists. Certainly not anymore. Vlado is as far to the right as you can possibly get and it doesn't matter if he used to be a communist ten years ago. What matters is he was right wing and voted for Trump specifically because Trump was right wing.

Extha also isn't a leftist. He's more of a centrist sort but has a real sore spot for feminism and that is driving him further right. Like, I do not think he is for a lot of right wing policies specifically, but he is so anti-feminism that all that other stuff doesn't matter.

Ulti is a conspiracy theorist and definitely isn't left leaning. The appeal of Occasio-Cortez or Sanders to a person like that is that they are also out of the "mainstream" and not a part of the system. It has nothing to do with their policies. They thing there is some global cabal of secret globalists globally globing their way around the globe. Anything not that is their ally. And, whenever Sanders or Occasio-Cortez say something in support of liberal or left leaning policies, Ulti is quick to call them idiots who don't understand monetary policy or this, that, etc.

Every single post Ulti has made has been in support of right or center right policies. He thinks Scalia was assassinated by Obama. He buys into every conspiracy theorist Alex Jones promotes (well, most of them).

None of those three are anywhere near the left. Extha is closest, but he absolutely isn't voting for anyone that is a proponent of modern feminism, regardless of what the rest of his political views are.
