How can we move the Party more to the Left?
It's ridiculous to witness this reluctance of our Party to take the positive steps to the Left that we need to build
a society that provides Justice for ALL -- all, as in, everybody world-wide.

First step is for the Party to Impeach 45.

Second step, put a Progressive in the WH.

Third step, keep the Congress as Democrat.

3. Many of us are happy where we are now. Generally.

Don’t forget it was not a flood of left leaning candidates that won us the house last election.

Quite the opposite in fact. We ran moderate democrats in moderate districts and exceeded expectations. That’s what a 50 state strategy looks like. Run democrats that reflect and can win in their districts.

Personally, I much prefer a moderate leaning Democratic caucus in the majority then a more left leaning one in the minority. Had we not won the house last fall the filibuster would have already been scrapped and one repressive law after the next would be being passed this year.

Guarantee you one thing...I would delirious with happiness to have the most moderate democrat in the house in place of the Tea Party hack representing me.

Oh, dear... that isn't going to go over well...

11. You're happy that we're facing ecological overshoot?

You're happy that that 10% of the population holds 70% of the wealth? You're happy that life expectancy is declining? I could go on, but you get the picture.

9. Who says the party needs to move to the left?

I am very active in Rhode Island Democratic Party politics and there is no burning desire to move further to the left - lot of centrist voters here.

I would imagine a vast majority of democrats in the middle states are horrified at what their party is becoming...

16. Every day here in Ohio WV and Pa former staunch

Democrats have switched Republican because they believe Democrats have gone too far left already. I remind you that is where we have to win to have the presidency.
We aren't going to lose that Blue Wall talked about endlessly in 2016, it's the swing states we have to win.

Hey Petrus, 10% of the population does or provides 70% of the work.  Your little miniscule contribution doesn't amount to squat.

Move the party more to the left?!? You've already driven the party off the cliff. Maybe on the way down the car will glance off a rock and go further left than when it initially went over the cliff, but I'm not sure how that's going to help.

Too much of a chance of accidental collateral damage to surrounding structures.
Might I recommend the placement of a .357 magnum on the right temple?

It's equally effective, and quicker to boot!

Aren't you the least bit worried about overpenetration? There's not much in a DUmpMonkiez head to absorb a .357's kinetic energy, after all...

More than adequate. (Unlike just about any DUmmy you could randomly select - assuming you went to the trouble of extracting the moles from your selection pool.)

48. Ah, the mysterious youth vote.

Hasn’t happened. Will not happen. It’s like chasing unicorns.

Countless Democratic Campaigns have crashed and burned counting on it.

If it happens, fine. But don’t build a campaign on it.

Oh yes, them.  They can't even show up for work.. Daily problem in everyday life.
