- peteretep 6y ago> Everything I've read and heard about US politics would seems to suggest that the Dems are being pulled increasingly towards the extreme left We are either reading very different news, or your use of “extreme left” is highly out of sync with anything approaching common usage. Wake me me up when they start nationalising pensions
- kalleboo 6y agoThe Democratic party as an institution is not very left at all. There are people who identify as Democrats who could be described as extreme left, and they may get a lot of airtime, but they do not represent the party and do not influence it's policies.
- secondcoming 6y agoAOC et al? She'll be leading the party in 5 years.
- secondcoming 6y agoI'm not sure if I'm being downvoted by Republicans who don't like her, or Democrats who think I think I'm a Republican!
- edgyquant 6y agoThis is a bad uninformed take. AOC would be a literally who without Conservatives pushing her as a villain in their media.
- Nursie 6y ago> Everything I've read and heard about US politics would seems to suggest that the Dems are being pulled increasingly towards the extreme left. Have you been using Fox news exclusively to form those opinions? From a British perspective, the Democrats are to the right of all the major parties in our parliament.
