(22,000 posts)Wow, that is some arrogant shit you are pushing. You are saying because many Democrats (including me) want to save the middle class and poor, we are not part of the party?
There are many people that are Democrats that believe it is the conservatives (like you) that want to drag the party left by nominating someone like Clinton.
First, it is money in politics that is preventing us from adequately dealing with the problems that we need to. Unless that is dealt with we will have a hard time fixing anything.
Second, here are a list of just a few of the problems we need to address:
-Homelessness
-Poverty
-Infrastructure
-Jobs
-Healthcare
-Education
-Justice system
None of those will get dealt with unless we have a government that is willing to pass the laws to fix these things. Roads.....are socialism. The fire and police department....is..wait for it...socialism. The fucking library...is socialism. All those are GOVERNMENT programs are socialism. So that fact that you can sit there and denounce socialism when it is everywhere around you is pretty damn funny.
Maybe it's time you get off your high horse and start looking in the mirror to figure out who is the problem.
