Seriously? Today's Democratic Party of hating Wall Street and cheering black people who chant "We want dead cops", and who may actually nominate a socialist...isn't that extreme? Even if I thought with a liberal hat on...why so extreme left?

You have Hillary running against policies her husband supported. This article from several weeks ago made me think about what could have caused this.

I don't think all Black Dems want Cops dead though.

Now nominating a socialist now that gets me...

Actually he fits a more traditional definition of conservatism than do most of the Conservative intellectuals or even the tea partiers.
He does? Can you explain?

It hasn't, if anything it's lurched to the right (courtesy of the Clinton/Tony Coelho/DLC types).
DLC is not popular in the 2010's. I wish DLC was popular this decade though.

The Democratic Party today is far more conservative than it was in the '80s (especially not counting the old Dixiecrats).
Oh the Urban Liberals in the US House are more conservative than they were in the 80's?
