    That’s because the Democratic party has been conservative for decades, regardless of the bullshit they’ve been saying. The only “liberal” parts have been some social stances for over 20 years. As soon as economic issue come up its been full speed ahead for whatever businesses want.

      It’s not a conservative party, it’s a big tent party. At this point the only broadly accepted party line is ‘sanity.’

      Far-right manipulation is so effective that they can reasonably compete with everyone else combined.

        Far-right manipulation is so effective that they can reasonably compete with everyone else combined.

        Far-right manipulation is effective, but even more than that is how the DNC offers no viable alternative. And no, their rightward shift and status quo economic policies are not a viable alternative. This depresses voter turnout on the Democrat side and results in the GOP winning election after election.
