82. sorry doc, but please...I repeat my question |

Who of significance in the Democratic Party is preaching excessive PC or utopianism?
I'm sorry, but I cannot at this moment think of a single significant Democratic Party figure who is doing either.
Could someone give even one single example of any major Democratic Party figure excessively preaching PC or utopianism?
A few days ago someone on a different thread someone suggested that Dems loose because we have too many "hard leftist" leading the party. I asked that person to please name one single major Democratic Party figure who could by any wild stretch of the Imagination be described as "hard left". And to state what specific policies these "hard Left" politician were advocating that made them so far out of the mainstream that any reasonable person could describe them as "hard left". No one could give me even one single example.
Also, someone suggested that Mondale and Dukakis lost by such wide margins because of their ultra-liberal and far left views. I asked again if anyone could give me any examples of any positions held by Dukakis or Mondale that any reasonable person could describe as ultra-liberal or far left. Again no one could come up with even one single example.
The Republicans may have spread these terms around and some Democrats might have bought into their talking points.
