Not unless basically every single Democratic elected office holder is well to the right of Ted Cruz, no.

What kind of idiot would believe this?

Someone cited Hillary not supporting a VAT as an example of her being far right.

In us terms it's probably mild to extremely liberal. In world wide terms it's center right.
You do realize most of the world's population lives in countries where SSM is illegal, right?

You realize Hillary Clinton would be a far right candidate in many countries.
Name one.
Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Ireland off the top of my head.

Much of Europe would find her hawkish lean and non embrace of socialism to be to the right, in some of the more liberal countries she'd be far right
Knowing that BRTD reads this thread, I'll just let him take care of this when he gets back.

I mean let's ignore actual stances of things. The US is a center right country, our left politicians are often center right on a world scale.

Again, Clinton's hawkish tendency, no support for a vat, and stating universal health care would never come to pass alone would sink her in much of Europe.
