    You are definitely correct in the general sense. People actually to the left HAVE to remember: Democrats are allies only against the right. They are not ideologically aligned and no matter how many individuals you can pull left, “Democrats” will never be left or progressive.

    They HAVE to be pushed to do good things. That doesn’t magically make Trump good. Fuck that wannabe dictator and everyone who supports him, but Democrats are allies only against the right.

      Why are you trying to speak on behalf of all democrats?

      And why do you feel democrats are only allies against the right?

        Most aren’t even allies to the right. If we’re being honest, they owe far right.

        I speak on behalf of the label. Like I said: “no matter how many individuals you can pull left…”

        The party itself is not a specific person. MAYBE people like AOC and others will succeed in shifting the whole party left, but as it stands, it is a heavily center-right organization on the global scale of politics as far as how they vote in-house, on actual legislation.

      Most Democrat voters are not leftists, so it stands to reason that Democrats would not be leftists.
