Saying shareblue/CTR, a leftist astroturf organization, is "attacking leftists" is incredibly misleading. They attack towards both sides of the political spectrum from themselves, but there's much more to the right of them than these is to the left.

I think it's misleading to call ShareBlue "leftist" - they are 'left' to the extent that Joe Biden is 'left', but leftist typically refers to "the radical left" or marxists or democratic socialists in modern political discourse.

Yes, they attack to both sides, but their anti-right operations are pretty transparent. Their anti-leftist operations tend to be clandestine, presumably because DNC funds used to attack "their own" voters would be politically toxic.
