At one time you had the Left vs. the Right. A clear distinction. Then the Plutocratic-Oligarchs and their conspiracy tanks came up with a brilliant plan. Give the Left their social issues but keep the foreign policy, economic and NSA/CIA Dark State domestic surveillance issues of the Right Wing. As one can see here in DU, that was good enough to fool some pseudo-liberals.
