.... it is about intractability vs willingness to compromise.

That's the BIG issue.

Your proposed definition of 'far left' is hardly far left. Its all mainstream stuff. I don't know anyone who doesn't want all that and more.

I would actually add that instead of simply more corporate oversight, I want their personhood removed and their political rights clipped to essentially nothing. But that's just me, and off topic to this thread..

Why did you find this last line necessary: "That would also mean that you are out of step with the much of the Democratic Leadership who have have payed lip-service or outright abandoned the majority of not only Democrats, but Independents, as well"? Was it just to incite? If it was, it failed.

It seems to me you just felt compelled to post just because you saw the term 'far left' in the OP as a slam.
