Haha, yes; though even I was reduced to supporting them in 2019.
How dare you describe "Count Binface" as a joke. He was seriously trying to become Prime Minister two years ago!

Best center left publication in the English speaking world.

How is The Economist centre-left? They supported David Cameron for gods sake.

To give an example of how much they have changed, they went from endorsing Bob Dole in 1996 and George Bush in 2000 to expressing great admiration for Elizabeth Warren (their only criticism being she was slightly too statist).

This is less an example of the Economist's editorial stance changing and more of a reflection of how corporate-adjacent many self-styled progressive Dems are.
Irrespective of whether what you said is or isn't relevant or true, there is something that would more directly impact the magazine's editorial line - the median Economist reader is probably a good deal more to the left than it was in 1996 (or at least votes that way).
