The war on the "far left" is an effort to move the Democratic Party to the right.

39. The objective?

Not killing thousands of civilians with drone strikes.

Not generating thousands of potential terrorists by dropping bombs on their families.

Not allowing Wall Street criminals to get away with a slap on the wrist.

Not criminalizing adversarial journalism.

Not ceding to the Executive Branch the power to execute U.S. citizens without due process.

Not allowing the NSA and other intelligence and law enforcement agencies to bypass the Constitution.

Not allowing Social Security to be a bargaining chip in negotiations with madmen.

Not holding innocent men in prison.

Not spending hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars on data collection centers for our communications metadata.

Not surrendering our sovereignty to corporations via the Trans Pacific Partnership.

Not alienating ourselves from the international community by flexing our diplomatic muscles and forcing down a Head Of State's plane.

Not operating black sites in Somalia.

I could go on, but this list so far just makes me sick so I''ll stop.
