After Reagan, they just jettisoned the whole thing and decided to go neo-liberal with their positions. The Overton window kept sliding to the right and now we don't have a genuinely progressive party in this country no matter how much the GOP likes to say it. The Democratic platform is center-right on the global ideological spectrum, though arguments could be made for center. It is definitely not a left-of-center party. But, because of our current system whereby moneyed interests have free reign to influence officials and elected officials get to pretty much choose their constituents through the gerrymandering of elections that only allow a two-party system, well, we're ******.

Agree with the bolded, but that doesn't mean "the left" has abandoned workers.

It just means the Dems are not a left party. 

That millions misunderstand this is part of Trump's power.
