(31,232 posts)President Jill Stein, Green Party. I think it's you who has a totally warped perception of reality. In the "real world" we elected a center left President to represent not only the Democratic Party, but the country as a whole. He is beloved by his party, and he's beloved abroad because he isn't an ideologue. The country has been offered your alternative reality, and we have soundly rejected it as evidenced by the elections of 2000, 2004, 2008 & again in 2012! So no, I have no delusions. How long before you join the rest of us in "the real world"?
Anyone who isn't dishonest, knows that this president ran as a center left moderate, and you trying to revise history is just well...dishonest. This party isn't going to deliver your idea of "progressive" to the national stage. Bill Clinton set the tone for this party in the 90's, and it has served us quite well, truth be told.
