Leftists barely agree with each other, let alone anybody elsewhere on the political spectrum. You aren’t entirely wrong, though - there is a tendency to say that anything good is leftist and anything bad is right-wing, but right-wingers also do the same (see how anything they don’t like is either woke or communist, or both)

10·10 days agoPretty odd name for a restaurant – it’s a derogatory term to describe foreigners, like a Greek restaurant named “Barbaros”.

Canada@lemmy.ca•She found the Amelia Earhart statue but instead of a reward, she's become a suspect

Yes, a lot of self-proclaimed centrists are rather right-wing but like to picture themselevs as occupying the middle of the bell curve. See also their use of the term “common sense” when they want to feel like their view is the majority one despite that not being supported by statistics.
