Mainstream Democrats are conservative, mainstream Republicans are regressive. There is no actual liberal-centric major political party in the US, let alone one that's genuinely leftist.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> let alone one that's genuinely leftist There are plenty of elected leftists in America. We don’t have a major leftist party because we don’t have a major leftist voting bloc.
- Aloisius 2y agoWhat do you consider liberal-centric policies? Or leftist? As far as I'm aware, Democrats are still rather strong proponents of liberalism. Even most Republicans are proponents, though generally more for classical liberalism than modern liberalism. Liberalism, arguably, isn't really on the left-right axis at all.
