    I agree with your sentiment and am frustrated at why Dems in general have such a hard time siding with labor and the more progressive wing of the party.

      It's because the overton window has shifted so much that the Democrats only have to give scraps to workers and that is still the best those workers will get from any viable political party. It's better than what the Republicans are offering which is getting financially pissed on or literally shot.

        Exactly. And maybe I'm just a salty leftist, but I don't think we should thank dems for not pissing on us when they choose to spit on us instead.

          I agree with your sentiment. But I don't fault the party itself for having grown to cover so much turf that there is room for conservatives. I don't like that and I wish it would fragment and support multiple parties - but alas FPTP.
