The Overton window has moved so far to the right that corporate Democrats are what Eisenhower Republicans were when I was growing up. I hope the center shifts back in my lifetime.

I have been a democrat all my life, but I cannot stomach what they are doing now, I am gone.

Until we get money out of politics don't hold your breath. Politicians who don't take PAC money not only compete against opponent but corporate media and their own party establishment. Ultimately you get what you voted for.

Corporate Dems are to the right of Eisenhower who supported New Deal programs & progressive taxation. It’s scary that for decades the majority of Americans have accepted rightwing policies that harm them and only serve the 1%. And there’s no light at the end of the tunnel.

Yes, it’s so far to the right that someone like you who opposes abolishing capitalism is considered a leftist 🤦‍♂️ Real leftists know there’s no future under capitalism

It's a wide open lane for any politician to run in and would be a guaranteed win. Bernie would have won if he hadn't fallen on his sword at the 1-yard line twice. Almost seems like he did it on purpose; Take donations from people who hardly have the money to give, then shepherd
