[QUOTE="Macbrother, post: 4673367, member: 42759"] If Democrats wanted to go down that road, they had plenty of candidates much further left. Believe it or not, there's a lot of moderate Democrats elected in KS, MO, FL, TX, etc where that's not going to fly - this is merely a Fox/right-wing narrative. Expand healthcare? Put back in place common sense environmental regulations? Infrastructure and clean energy spending? Sure. But nobody's advocated for general government takeover of industry - this is, frankly, demagoguery to scare boomers and the uneducated. And even if they attempted such a thing, we can elect an entirely new House of Representatives and 1/3 of the senate in two years. Easy peasy. Speaking of government takeover, I didn't hear any complaints from the right when they voted for Trump's tax cuts, which doubled the national deficit and added an unprecedented $7 trillion of debt in four years.
