What far left? You mean the “far left” that continues to support the surveillance state in the US or the “far left” that continues to support the total destruction of Gaza? I can keep going, those are only the first two that came to mind.
Only with the extreme Overton shift in the US. Democrats may be more progressive than Republicans, but that’s really not saying much. Most actual Democrat policy is right of center, to the frustration of representatives like Sanders and AOC.
Yep, and I was happy to vote for them. And will continue to do so. I have no clue why Lemmy refuses to. Practically everything the Socialist party stands for is what Lemmy says is what’s needed.
Yet come election time, Lemmy was all, “Vote Dems or you’re a traitor!”
Then sported a shocked pikachu face when they lost. lol
The US only has a far-right party and a further right party. When has the Democrats ever advocated for anything at all left of center, other than Bernie’s Medicare for All, which since most nations on earth have some government provided healthcare, is more centrist, than center-left.
It’s time for the US to form a centrist party, instead of people having to choose between far right, right, and far left.

Where is this “far left” you speak of?
Like where is any party saying to abolish private property, arrest the billionaires, and give the entire means of production to the working class?
Nancy Pelosi queen democrat literally said we live in a free market after making her 200 million playing stock market games.
The dems are the centrists. We need an actual left party.

Still, what the USA needs is a left party, not a centrist party.
The Socialist party already exists?

OK, then what the USA needs is a left party with funds and good advertising.
They’re centered in terms of being centered against Republicans not left vs right

And Bernie isn’t a Democrat.
