I guess when you think that politics is a line where one side is "the right" and the other side is "the left" it's easy to confuse liberals with coalitions of other "leftist" groups like democratic socialists, socialists, communists, anarchists, etc... but when you categorize things as two-sided it really betrays a complete lack of understanding of any politic outside of our phony two-party system in America.

The two parties in the US work to the same end and are mostly composed of neoconservatives on the right and neoliberals on the left. They have the same goal: To serve corporate interests and ensure profits for stakeholders. They both don't care if you shrivel up and die, they just want their profits and they want to sell you on it in different ways.

What you really mean when you think that NYT is leftist is that they have more neoliberals on staff writing opinions than neoconservatives, which is maybe correct? It's pretty questionable when their current OpEd staff has the likes of Bari Weiss, Ross Douthat, Bret Stephens, David Brooks, etc... and the Liberals are people like Paul Krugman.

Even Washington Post is solidly left of NYT by the two-sides metric though lmao.
