as left as they come.
Achieving the vice presidency in 1944 because of his acceptability to all wings of the Democratic party, he became president upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt, April 12, 1945. As a party leader, he hoped to maintain a grand coalition that would have room for all the diverse elements of Roosevelt's political coalition. Personally, however, he considered himself a bit to the left of center and possessed roots in the tradition of western and midwestern insurgency. As president, therefore, he pursued an aggressively liberal program (the Fair Deal) that roused the Democratic presidential party and helped him win election in 1948. Its major elements, however, were defeated by a conservative Congress and an indifferent postwar public concerned primarily with preserving the New Deal rather than with achieving new liberal breakthroughs.
Now I suppose you will say that Truman was FOS to consider himself only a bit to the left of center.
Truman was nominated VP in '44 because he was more centrist than the incumbent VP Henry Wallace.
He was far from "as left as they come" in 1948. The fact that he championed a liberal agenda does not change that.
When you claim sources are wrong why not specify where they are wrong instead of just claiming they are a right wing slant.
