He endorsed Bernie Sanders for US president
So he’s Leftwing on abortion and rightwing on vaccines.
how can you be "rightwing on vacinnes" or "leftwing on abortion"? Do words not have meanings any more?
Because people are not caricatures and don’t have 100% agreement with one political side or another. That’s why you have some Democrats who oppose gun control and some Republicans who support abortion. Politics is a spectrum, not something to pidgeonhole people into.
This isn’t hard if you understand the words and their meanings.
