Right wing by whose standards? There are a lot of Euro-centric folks who forget anti-capitalist= leftist is NOT universal.
By the world's standards, you potato. By comparing her to others in this country, you corndog-stick. By simply looking at her positions, you meatloaf stain. By whom she supports, you pickle wart.
There is no “ world’s standard” there IS a EUROPEAN standard but we should never mistake European views for the world as the jerks with that Euro-centric perspective are behind most of the genocide and colonization in history.
Wearing a bright color is considered extremely progressive in Afghanistan. These dudes really are just pretending Europe speaks for the world.
Exactly, what constitutes “progressive” and “conservative” are relative to their time and place. Mistaking what is true for Western Europe as being true for all is historically problematic.
