The first is that a lot of people don't understand that the prevailing forces in the Democratic party is neo-Liberalism, and the Republican party it is neo-Conservatism. Both are roughly center-right. Social liberalism, what you see myself and some others on here espouse, is center-left. Of course, we are seen as just left to most, and far left to some others. The perspective in this country is skewed in this regard.

I'm pretty sure I saw a socialist in the mix too.

The "skewing" you talk about generally includes centrists under the rubric of "left" too.

By the way, someone can be both neo liberal and neo conservative where foreign policy is concerned. And I am not sure neo conservativism prevails in the Republican party anymore. Remember strong foreign policy was one of their central goals--The New American Century, etc.  Trump has abandoned that.
