That's entirely leftist. How does "bottom" differ?
Given this is a primarily American sub, the audience must be played to.
The audience being Americans, they almosy entirely consider our slightly less fascist right wing party, the Democrats, to be our "left."
And if right/left is subjective to the spectrum of a nation, I guess the Neoliberals are since they aren't actively for death camps for minorities, which is technically left of the Republicans. Technically.
The United States had any conception of an economic left beaten out of it ever since FDR left office. Leftist policies are spoken about like voldemort as a result.
It makes more sense not to try to rehab a century of propaganda and call it up vs down. Plus Americans are poorly educated by design to be compliant laborers. Up vs down is a simpler concept, for simpler people, than left vs right.
