    Just because the right likes to screech about how your centrists are extreme leftitists doesn’t change the fact they aren’t leftists. It’s just a smokescreen for the rightwing to cover just how extreme they’ve become.

      You can call them whatever you want, but Dems are what passes for the left in the US.

      If you’re going to move the goalposts and say that Dems aren’t the left, then you also can’t rationally say that the left is doing anything at all, since the left in the US has never had any real power then.
