MODERATORS
The democrats are right leaning centre. Good god, man, you don’t even know what a leftie is.
Not even leaning centre in most cases anymore..
I'd say Bernie and most of the Squad are mostly European style Social Democrats, which is center-left, but the likes of Biden, Manchin, Cuellar and Jeffries are just plain right wing and most of the leadership is much closer to them than the center.
They keep going towards the right every time the Republicans do, convinced that the tiny sliver between their rightmost and the least right wing Republicans is the majority of the population while ignoring the left completely when not demanding "unity" (read: obedience) around election time.
It’s because the money that finds its way into the party only does so at the behest of the billionaires and millionaires. If they start leaning left, with more candidates that push for labor reforms like AOC, that money gets cut off. Political parties under capitalism can only operate one way.
Well political parties under UNREGULATED capitalism, at least.
While of course far from perfect, multiparty systems in capitalist countries that HAVEN'T made legal bribes an integral part of their political system tend to have politicians MUCH more representative of the general population than in the US. Imagine that!
