Only AMLO is left-wing and even then, he’s kinda conservative on some social issues.

Trudeau and Biden are centrists at best.

Biden is a centrist, but a frequently left influenced one - this distinguishes him from the Clintons and more arguably the POTUS he served for eight years.

A pure centrist would never have plagiarised a 1980s British Labour speech, but of course Joe did.

Trudeau is of course almost 100% distilled essence of woke centrism Smiley

Enrique Peña Nieto, Justin Trudeau, and Barack Obama were literally all leaders a half-decade ago.

Saying this with the implication that any of these people are remotely left-wing is peak Blairism - specifically, the weird post-2007 becoming-a-cranky-Tory-in-retirement Blairism. When Tony Blair was in power, he was significantly to the left of all three of these. That is something both he and his current supporters, all five of them, seem to have forgotten.

Well he certainly was in his earlier years as PM, the post-Iraq years are maybe more debatable.

Arguably that's not too hard.
