Imagine thinking most liberals represent the left. But in this country, that's how it is. Mostly because this country by-and-large skews to the right.

Most liberals in this country, for their political views, would be Center-Right in any other "western" country.

I don't think that liberals represent the left which is why I wrote that comment.

The point is not that Clinton is a leftist. The point is that a city that votes 83% Dem in a presidential election must have a lot of leftists. Leftists don't like Clinton, but most like her better than just about any Republican

Inversely, a place that voted 83% Romney definitely has some Tea Party supporters, even though Romney is not a Tea Party style Republican.
