Obama in 2020: This president [Trump] and those in power – those who benefit from keeping things the way they are – they are counting on your cynicism. They know they can’t win you over with their policies. So they’re hoping to make it as hard as possible for you to vote, and to convince you that your vote doesn’t matter. That’s how they win. That’s how they get to keep making decisions that affect your life, and the lives of the people you love. That’s how the economy will keep getting skewed to the wealthy and well-connected, how our health systems will let more people fall through the cracks. That’s how a democracy withers, until it’s no democracy at all. We can’t let that happen. Do not let them take away your power. Don’t let them take away your democracy. Make a plan right now for how you’re going to get involved and vote. Do it as early as you can and tell your family and friends how they can vote too.
barrack “I’ll kill you at a wedding” Obama, barrack “I lied about closing gitmo” Obama, barrack "expand the surveillance state Obama is not going to tell me what to do.
this is also not evidence that Democrats even know where the left is.
when you get me a democrat that wants to close the prisons and the banks and end the institution of private property and the state, I will vote for them.
they never made such a claim. in fact, all the evidence is that dems don’t care if leftists vote at all.
Since Dems are leftwing all the evidence is the exact opposite of your claim.

At this point, you’re asking for a communist. Good luck trying to get that going in the states.
And you’re asking us to elect procorporate trash.
No.
I would also accept a libertarian socialist. liberals aren’t leftists, though, and Democrats are liberal at best. some are much worse.
