(528 posts)These aren't far left ideas. These are main stream democratic ideals. Who's saying all or nothing? Where did I mention "uber wealthy corporate megalomaniac overlord"? People like fair labor standards and the war on drugs has been a disaster. The environment is the single most important issue facing the world and we are 60 years late to the party. We can't afford to make incremental change on that issue anymore. I'm not proposing socialism or an end to the WTO. I don't think heroin should be sold in 7-11's. Your attempt to categorize me as some far left ideologue is unwarranted and childish.
The point of the OP is not that we should be nominating our version of the Tea Party. Our so called far left is the Democratic base. Our politicians are too busy chasing the other sides to notice.
