Critical support to the people who randomly marked Bernie as far right. You’re all honorary Maoists now.

I was the guy who said Bernie-Sanders was far-right BTW.

The fact that 'Not Sure' is so prevalent on here is really telling

Explains a lot that a large swathe of the average voter literally does not know the political leanings of some of the most prominent people in politics

Joe Biden built his entire 50-year career on being a "don't rock the boat, give your opponent a reach around the aisle" centrist politician. A fact that 92% of usa'ns don't recognize.

It's obvious how uneducated Americans are because this entire chart should just be a solid red block.

Gotta love that 5-10% that are just contrarian, misguided, uninformed, careless, or picking random numbers.

44% not sure for Fetterman is also funny.

Would be vastly more interesting to see what.. basically any other nationality than American, would say. Can't imagine a single country population agreeing there's that much leftism there.

Calling anyone here 'far-left' is utterly derisible.

theres some kind of lesson in that the persons described by most as "far left" was repeatedly blocked by the democratic party leadership from reaching executive office despite constant diplomacy and reconciliation... but the person described by most as "far right" has been repeatedly celebrated and exalted by the republican party despite never missing an opportunity to wipe his ass on its membership, and has ascended to a position of total dominance of the party.

All of these people are far right except for maybe Mamdani who is center-right, but increasingly more far right as time passes.

Elon Musk

I notice the question asked doesn't specify politician, but the title of the graph does and the rest of the people are.

Newsom far-left

Mamdani is less of a commie than Bernie? Also like how Fetterman is the biggest "not sure" (baring Susan Collins but I think most people don't know who she is).

Guessing those people who said Liz Cheney is left had never heard of her until the Harris endorsement

so basically the chunk of people from pete buttigieg upwards who say right/far right is indicative of how many tankies there are

They are confusing her with Lon Cheney Jr who is in Hollywood and therefore a woke

This chart sort is weird, Kamala should be above Zohran judging by how they match on "far left" but many more people call her "left" lmao

You can see the Hexbear voters on the top right of this chart.

libs with the sliver of political education required to understand 'communism' is far left but also fully bought into the "dae nazi americans is just like gommunist ruzzia"

honestly simply imagining them these have to be the most insufferable persons in existence. they're going to be so smug and arrogant and insist they know more than you, when their fundamental conceptions are inadmissably poor

The 4% saying Trump is far-left offers an estimate of how prevalent blue maga is

The fascinating part to me is how few Americans describe any politician as being “centrist.” Even broadening it to all three of the center options, no politician hits a majority seeing them as in the center spectrum (Fetterman gets closest at 38%). Illustrates that Americans see the “center” more as an abstract concept than an ideological space people actually occupy.
