Left-Right is virtually meaningless.

AOC is not an outlier.

The divide is between the War Party and the domestic spending party, between the neoliberals and the New Dealers, between the 1%-ers and the rest of us.

The policies endorsed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Bernie Sanders and their allies are supported by the vast majority of American voters.

There are plenty of people to their left -- see Ralph Nader, Jacobin, Noam Chomsky, Cornel West, Jimmy Dorn, Robert Reich, anarchists, Socialists, Bill McKibben, Naomi Klein, Chris Hedges, Richard Wolfe, Paul Buhle, Rev. William Barber, countless more -- who are, at least for the moment, limited to the power of persuasion.
