alt Hacker Newsi'm confused by your footnotes, because in the first one you clarify you mean right-wingers and "free market" fanatics and then seemingly restating it in your second footnote while presenting it as a separate group haha

I'm not sure what you mean. The first group here?
> Free trade dems, Clintonite think tankers, third-way corporatists, the self-styled "neoliberal" dems, abundance dems, etc.
These are all very much part of the democrat coalition, i.e. the "left" on the US political spectrum. It's not the entire democrat coalition, but they are a large part of it. I'd call them centrist for sure, but certainly not right wing.
