The Lincoln Project is an American political action committee formed in late 2019 by several prominent current and former Republicans. The goal of the committee is to prevent the reelection of Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election and defeat his supporters in the United States Senate. In April 2020, the committee announced their endorsement of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.Wikipedia
So they ARE Leftists - of the Neocon variety. I believe it was Irving Kristol who once said that Neocons were nothing more than disenchanted leftists. He should know, as one of the founders of Neoconservatism. The hostile Neocon takeover of the Republican Party in the 1990's is the precise reason I left the Republican Party. They are at heart Marxists, Globalists, Progressives - pick your term, as those are all eggs in the same totalitarian basket. It has become disheartening that the newer generation grew up under Necon Republicans, and think that Neoconservaitsm is the stance of "Classic Conservatives" now - it is not. It's only been a "thing" since the late 60's or early 70's, and only a Big thing" since the 1990's. Before that, Conservatives were... conservative, not "progressive".
Being Neocons means they are closet Progressives, and are as likely as the DNC to be in a CCP pocket. It's not a wonder that they endorsed Biden, especially considering his hard swing towards Marxism.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
