    erm… for them to move to center they have to shift left. Currently they are pretty much righ of the center. They are only to the left of Republicans.

      That’s what I mean. They’re not left of center by global political standards, but they are the leftmost of the two only US options, making it “The Left” by US standards. I feel like this article is using that ambiguity to imply Democrats want a more conservative party rather than a more liberal one.
