Do you prefer the Old Left or the New Left in America?

(I would imagine most of this forum would be far more likely to be McGovernites than Humphreyites or, lmao, the AFl's favourite candidate Scoop Jackson).

If we're running some kind of block vote I count for at least thirty though.

The basic problem here is that while 'New Left' refers to a particular political tradition with a fairly clear meaning and definition, 'Old Left' really doesn't except in a sense so broad as to be completely useless. You're basically lumping together all shades of Social Democrat and Communist together as one discrete category and while, yes, they share some ancestry, so do whales and dogs.
