For at least the last 45 years, Republicans have cast every Democrat politician as a Socialist or extreme leftist. No matter how left, center, or middle they are, Republicans always say they’re far left. So why the hell would you move to the right just because you’re afraid they’re going to call you names? Everyone knows that no matter how far to the right you move, they’re still going to scream that you’re the most extreme liberal who has ever run for office?
