re: #19 Absalom, Absalom, Obdicut

You didn’t point out anything that made sense to me.

Please cite the far-left proposals. The specific proposals, especially with immigration.

And again, I don’t think ‘right’ and ‘left’ are useful metrics, and I don’t get why people are so bound to them.

For this moment, this is as specific as I am being.

And second, the party needs to lead from the middle to convince Southerners that a vote for a Democrat is not a vote for far-left policies in Washington that are out of step with the more moderate views in rural America.

As to far right and far left, they are imperfect terms. But they are what we have in the common use, so like fiscal conservative I will have to trust the reader to get my meaning. Any alternative would either be lengthy or less commonly understood. I didn’t make these phrases, I just have them in my vocabulary. Imperfections and all.
