[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s hard to take anyone seriously who uses the word “leftist”. This tells me you read a lot of junk conservative propaganda.

If high schools and colleges could teach real civics classes again, we’d be a better country.[/quote]

We say leftist because we see it is radically different than liberal.  Liberals welcome debate and diversity of thought.  They might think they are correct on the issues but they understand that others can look at the same information and reach a different conclusion.  That is not Biden or the leftist wing of the Democratic Party.  The leftists are no different than the far right religious conservatives in that they do not see options or respect diversity of opinion.  Many republicans bristle at being lumped in with the religious right.  But they don’t ignore its existence and its power to influence with its power.  It was at its height of power in the 80s.  Today the far left has control of the Democratic Party.  Moderate dems are just starting to push back but boy it is a push.  DC is an example of sensible people pushing back (bowser) but 11 of 12 elected democrats in DC want to reduce criminal penalties in the middle of a crime wave. This shows that the far left is not the fringe.  Laurie Lightfoot and Chessa Boudin didn’t hide their beliefs while running.  They were very open about their far left policies and were elected into office easily.  Then people saw what those policies look like.  randi weingarten doesn’t really represent the views of any teachers I actually know but she has the ear of politicians and money.  
Biden has always governed like a leaf in the wind following what the trends are in his party.  He has NEVER lead his party.  So right now the far left is the loudest group backed with lots of money (Soros, teachers union) and he is following them.  He needs to listen to regular democrats but he isn’t listening at all right now.  If he listens and starts to push back on the lefties, he may end up moderate but he is definitely captured by the left.  And fwiw, regular democrats don’t say MAGA all the time.  That is a tell that someone is a close minded lefty. [/quote]
