Not right-wing/DLC/Third Way Democrats. People already see through them and refuse to vote for the lesser of the two evils.

and go hard left, you'll get more positive results.

I mean, go left as far as you'd willing to go. Today's "centrism" is 1980's Republicans.

We need 1950/60's style Democrats to be willing to work with the people, and not the business/corporates.

And they really need to cut the ratio of CEO salaries to workers to Europe's standard of around 20:1

Right now it is 450:1. Insanity.
