Reply #53: If they don't support the list that was provided in the post we are discussing,

they are not Dems, much less, Dems "on the left."

First of all, Dems are only on the left because the Republicans are the only other choice, the Republicans are extreme right-wing at this time.

The principles on the list -- ending senseless wars, supporting public education, supporting more public health care, equality and opportunity for women and minorities -- and not just for women and minorities but for all -- are old-fashioned Democratic principles. They are the same things my mother stands for. She is 93, a minister's wife and a life-long Democrat. She has not veered left. Obama and the DLC have turned right and left the Democratic Party behind.
