I don’t think this guy understands what being far left really means. He just talks about passion for Dem talking points, which have little to do with Dem policy outcomes.

So, I guess Mr. Pitts wants to knock the left-leaning table THROUGH the floor?

"What should their message be?"

How can they best portray themselves in a way they are not?

There’s no farther left for the Democrats Party to go, is there?

"Ideas have consequences." - Weaver.

America, under what Madison called a "benign" government influence, became a place of freedom, creativity, productivity, and plenty--enough to share with the world.

Other places, under the spell of these ideas of "socialism" and Utopia, have come and gone, or, if they exist, the are miserable places where tyrannical clowns squelch creativity among the citizens, destroy productivity, produce poverty and gloom, and look to other countries to sustain their people, while the leaders soak up all that the citizens produce.

Current example: Venezuela!

Yet, in America, the beneficiaries of the Founders' system of free people and limited government prattle on and on about how they're going to "fight" for the little people whose votes they covet!

Enough already!

I read that as "Leonard Pitts is a communist for the Miami Herald."

Dick Turban was just admonishing them not to let their communism show and this guy wants to let it all hang out.

Here’s my take.

Honestly, it’s too late for Democrats. They sold their soul to identity politics long ago.

Democrats have been extraordinarily successful in importing leftist kooks and fringe groups into their Party. In the short term Democrats successfully cobbled together a coalition made up of Democrats, kooks, and the fringe left. The problem is, much like immigration, the kooks and the fringe left has taken over the Democrat Party. While they weren’t looking, Democrats got booted out of their own Party.

Clinton was the take-off trajectory of the Democrats until they completely changed trajectory with the radical Obama and then they sought to go even higher off the kook scale with Bernie and they’re never going back. It’s too late.

Democrats sold their soul and now the kook “immigrant” radicals are in full control of their Party.

If the Communist Party moves any further to the left, it’s going to be on the right.

What a surprise a race baiting Marxist thinks the party should move to the Left. He won’t be happy until Das Kapital is the basis of the party platform.

The left has run out of believable lies.

Good.

About time.

It just so happens I agree with Pitts, absolutely. The Democrats need to move so far left they make Bernie Sanders sound like John Birch.

They need to move so far left every pronouncement sounds like semi-serious news.

They need to move so far left that even Dick Durbin will feel at home.

Wait a second. They are already there.

Well then, they need to get louder.
