of the article is correct. Democrats are now getting behind more liberal policies and that is a fact. It's also a fact that Sanders has paved the way for it to move in this direction. Sorry it upsets you the party is moving left.

Reading the article, it didn't strike me as pushing an agenda, just reporting a trend in politics that is pretty glaring right now. Dems becoming more liberal. Not sure why this is so upsetting? Kind of mindbogglingly really since this is a Democratic / progressive site.
