The idea that the Board is “left leaning” has always struck me as a bit exaggerated. XT is active in this thread—he’s no leftist—and at least 3 rightists are posting. Does the center-left outnumber the right-wing here? Sure, but that’s true of almost any intellectual grouping.
And “far-left”? There are some Bernie Bros at SDMB, if that’s what you mean, but I don’t think they’re a majority.
I’d be curious to hear specific examples of thinking you call “far-left” (or “far-right” for that matter). Is it “leftist” to think temperatures are rising, and then “far-leftist” to think the warming is caused by man?
