I understood it to be referencing how many moves are made with unanimous consent in the Senate and the House. The fact is in the states Bernie is considered a far left socialist by most, while in Europe he'd be considered center right. This being the case, the term "Latte Left" is an attempt to demonstrate there's no actual left option in the US. Regardless of which party someone votes for, both are war hungry and willing to sell their votes.
I'm tired after a long day of work, so I may be missing something, but...
If there's no actual left in the U.S., then how can leftists be to blame for laying the groundwork for anything?
While in the big picture they are conservative, they still are referred to as the left in the US due to the other party being more conservative. Basically it's conservative vs more conservative, but by classifying them as left provides the illusion of having liberal and conservative political options.
Which rather bolsters my observation that the author isn’t really talking about real people that exist, just the imaginary leftists that Republican politicians love to blame.
