Was he, though

In the age of Clinton, sure! Just being openly atheist was wild. Clinton was attending church EVERY SINGLE WEEK in the White House just because he thought he had to.

Left of where the media thought the political center was? Like the way they think right now it's, oh, somewhere around that nice young man Senator McConnell?

I mean, consider the 80s and 90s.

See, that's my thing. He's what I refer to as a "false ally". He *acts* like he's left, but in truth, he just isn't straight up fascist. So dems love him because he'll complain about Republicans, but actual progressives tire of his love for the status quo.
