WaPo admits (or brags) that all the Dem candidates are far left
IT HAS become an unchecked assumption about the Democratic presidential race: The candidates are fighting an ideological war between "left" and "center." This narrative is false, and it is hardly benign. It minimizes the bold policy ambitions of those in the mislabeled "centrist" lane and falsely characterizes those on the left flank as braver or more committed to reform.... practically all Democrats agree on: giving legal safe harbor to the young immigrants known as "dreamers"; reviving and expanding President Barack Obama's climate regulations; reengaging with Iran; raising the minimum wage; keeping abortion legal; cracking down on guns.In fact, every major Democratic candidate is running on an agenda to the left of Mr. Obama's.
