58. "the agenda of the extreme left" ???

You mean something like THIS?

"In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established [font size=3]for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.[/font]

Among these are:

*The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

*The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

*The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

*The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

*The right of every family to a decent home;

*The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

*The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

*The right to a good education.

All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being."-- FDR

You mean THAT "Extreme Left" Agenda?
Please note that FDR species the above as Basic Human RIGHTS to be OWNED and Administered by our Government of the People
and NOT as Commodities to be SOLD to Americans by For Profit Corporations.

At one time, not so long ago, voting FOR the Democrat was voting FOR the above Values.
THOSE were Mainstream-Center Democratic Party Values.
Some of us here STILL fight for those values.
They are NOT "Extreme Left".
There IS no "Extreme Left" in the USA.

I haven't changed.

I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.
