      A rather large majority says the democratic party is the left. That is why I used the word, not because I wanted to talk what they are and what they aren’t. That is how normal people usually do. Normal people don’t nitpick about every single word and try to deconstruct them to find faults when the topic is something else.

        Which people say they are left? I’m not nitpicking, you are fundamentally wrong about using the term. It wasn’t a throwaway word, it is essential to the meaning of your post, and this incorrect. You can’t expect to throw disparaging remarks around when your understanding is not right.

          I am 100% not wrong about using the term. Words don’t mean whatever you decide they mean.

          Which people say they are the left? Almost everyone. If you do a poll and ask all Americans, no, everyone in the world which is the left party and which is the right, what do you think you will get? Maybe you think numbers don’t matter? They do where words and meanings come into place. Maybe you think her policies are not sufficiently to the left for your taste? Though.

          What disparaging remarks? That the left - meaning the democratic party with all it’s progressive and less progressive individuals together with other leftist parties are their own worst enemy?

          What a bloody contraversial statement! Nobody in history every said something so disparaging. Let’s attack this guy on all angles for this crazy statement.

          This is truly amazing and at mindnumbingly boring at the same time.
