I think what they’re referring to is how the ruling class likes using the “right vs left” rhetoric to distract us from the “ruling class vs. Working class” / class consciousness rhetoric. It’s an effective way to keep us divided.
That being said, the right wing people are being used as pawns by the ruling class to sow that division whereas the left-wing people tend to be more class-conscious. What this person is specifically referring to, though, is the tendency for the democratic party (a capitalist party) to be called “left” when they are not.
Yeah I guessed as much too, but I wanted to be sure so I could tailor my response to the individual, we need to meet people where they are and help them reach the next step on the ladder to class consciousness.
There’s also the chance that they’re already firmly on the left, but just don’t believe in electoralism for example, which is a different conversation to have

Correct me if I’m wrong tho
Which is incredibly stupid considering only one of the 2 sides is unwilling to unite
Yeah pretty much!
