“Let’s start with the obvious — a tyrant sits in the White House,” Walsh added. “The very thing our Founders feared most is here. Throw in the fact that one of our two major political parties is a real and direct threat to democracy and the rule of law. These are unprecedented, dangerous times in America. I know it. You know it. There are even Republicans who know it.”

      Well if the left doesn’t turnout to vote. If course they’re going to go right to try and get the voters who actually vote. And it seems the right votes more consistently then the left.

      Election results have proven that leftists aren’t the majority. Politicians are beholden to the voters not leftists.

        Yes that’s why the dnc does their best to always avoid or force out any left like candidates.

        When has the dnc run or allowed a leftist candidate to run?

          That’s not how it works. Leftists won’t be “allowed” to take over the DNC. Voters will need to create the political will to run leftists. There hasn’t been enough demand for leftists candidates. There are enough examples of leftists wining primaries and losing elections to prove that.
