Stop living in the American ethos bubble by only comparing her and others to the politicians within our borders. Relative to what the world considers Left and Right to be, she and Biden are Right wing.
She was a world leader. She must be measured as such.
Edit: I don't think the message warranted moderation and removal.
So we should judge her by European standards which you are calling “the world’s standard”? The left= anti-capitalist is very much a European perspective.
Let’s not continue to mistake Europe and European views for “The World” because that is historically problematic. Much of the world is still trying to figure out what rights people have from/by their governments.
No, you mushroom. I stated the parameters. You're just too myopic to see beyond your own nose. Kamala is right of center, even in the USA. She's not "left wing." She's left of Trump. I don't see a single reference to Europe in my first comment.
