The Democrats are already extreme Far Left. What do you want them to do? What policies do you want to see them push?

Yup, so far left. That is why they never gave us universal healthcare, free college, and an end to the war on drugs.

Umm, they're already as far left as it is possible to go.

The Left is not interested in any of that except as a means to an end.

And that's a big gift for the GOP.

the right does it, too. Republicans were the anti-slavery party. Dems were pro.
Correct. The parties have switched sides and Democrats are now the party of the rich. The Democrats won't be moving leftward economically for a very long time.

You're confused there, pal. I didn't say anything about the Senate, or the GOP, and your presumption that I like the "Repub Senate" is marvelously silly.

You were bashing the Left. I think the Repubs live with Trumpkins as a means to an end. Not just the Republican Senate and until January, the House. But also Repubs in general. I find most of them to be racist, xenophobic, and anti poor people, among other bad traits, pal.

Republicans have never been the party of the rich. That's just leftist propaganda that they repeat over and over, hoping it will somehow become the truth.

Republicans are the party of people who want to become rich.
