I don’t know if it’s really taken that long. A lot of politically active Americans have been saying this for going on 40 years now.
The crushing defeat of Mondale in 84 led the party to abandon anything even remotely working class, then Clinton’s “triangulation strategy” in the 90s cemented the Dems as a center / center-right party.
I remember reading articles in 2004 about how the Overton window had shifted so much that Dems were right wing.
Yes of course some people have realized this for decades. Yet I don't think there has ever even been an actually left wing candidate?
Let's hope the majority adopting the sentiment means you guys can establish a functional democracy some day.
The Democratic party seeks to destroy left wing candidates.
