    Democrats are NOT leftists, they’re center right at best. They ultimately serve corporate interests and NOT the will of the people.

    You will never get universal healthcare, police reform, free college, less military spending, and other leftist ideals from the Democrat party because they’re not leftists. Doing these things runs counter to the interests of their corporate masters.

    We have a fascist party and a conservative party, but we don’t actually have a liberal party. We haven’t had one since before Clinton.

      We don’t need a liberal party. We need a party that serves the interests of people, not corporations and oligarchs.

      Americans are NOT leftists, they’re center right at best.

      Edit: Also, everyone loves to blame Democrats for turning conservative after Jimmy Carter, but have you looked at the election results from 1980? 1984? 1988?

      You run to represent the population you have, not the one you wish for.
