It doesn't matter, really, whether the Democrat party is too far left or not far enough left from your perspective. Normie Democrats are a frightening cult right now.

Arguably the problem with normie Democrats is that they aren't really far left, because if they were actually far left they would never advocate supporting the FBI or feeling sorry for a bunch of rich congress members. If anything an actual leftist would give critical support to anyone who invades the Capitol and kills police officers, even if they were "fascists" and reactionaries.

Democrat ideology is basically fanatically pro-system centrism mixed with pseudo-radical "woke" rhetoric.

You'd think all that was true, but it's not.

They even arrested an antifa dude who was plotting to protect the establishment by shooting MAGAs on inauguration day.

It's a good point and just from looking at the people gushing over this at least in the thread I've linked it's mostly not committed ideologues of the hard left it's cat ladies and centrists. That is frightening and something that will be very dangerous going forward.

Normie Democrats are 40 year old+ fucking morons who do nothing but repeat talking points. They're so disconnected from the party it's insane. They just repeat whatever is the trend in the news and surface level shit. These people go through life thinking of nothing more than their next car lease, they're insufferable.
