    Someone doesn’t understand that the Democrats have been running that platform for a while now and been using it as a whipping rallying call to kowtow the actual left into compliance with them without any real consideration given to their ideology. The Democrats are not actually left, they’re at best middle of the road conservatism and people need to realize that.

      “The lesser of 2 evils.”

      America voted for the greater evil and is now experiencing face eating leopard.

        Hillary Clinton was the lesser evil against Barack in 2008. Her whole campaign platform was that she was more electable and that voting for Obama was throwing your vote away.

          The lesser evil thing doesn’t apply to primaries, you always vote as progressive as possible in the primaries. And anyway, Clinton and Obama were both establishment candidates, they were the same level of evil.
