First of all, there's no Birtherism "on the left" per se. There's Birtherism within the Democratic party, yes, but that's comprised of, essentially, Hillary's center-right supporters (and they've quieted down a lot.)
They have quieted down alot, but that does not mean they do not have that belief. But then again the further you get away from a election the emotions soften, many who probably thought Bush stole the election have also softened their stance over the years, the further we got away from the Gore campaign. Also I doubt many would consider Philip J. Berg, a man who himself identifies himself as "moderate to liberal", and filed the first Birther lawsuit and really began the movement, would be considered center-right.
"Trutherism," however, is clearly present in both conservative and liberal circles.
And yet it finds itself at home more on the Democratic side, than the Republican side.
But more to the point, you have no evidence to suggest that being a Truther means you don't think Bush was legitimately elected President.
No, and I never said there was, but many Truthers take such a position out of a hatred for Bush, and Conspiracy Theories. Two things that they do share with "Electioners" or what ever you wish to call them.
