Nancy Pelosi, for example, may be more progressive than some of her colleagues, but she is still very much a pragmatic liberal. The Democratic party has still not reached being center-left on the geopolitical spectrum. They relate more to center and even center-right parties across the globe.
I agree, but what I've been getting the push back about is the claim that the leftist agenda is gradually subsuming the Democratic party. As stated, this is an ongoing and gradual process, which has accelerated a bit of late. I will absolutely say I was surprised that Biden got the nomination, but his VP pick should be revealing in this regard. Regardless, I stand by my assertion that the far left is making greater inroads into the party norm with every day. Much like my predicting that CA style gun control would come to your home state. I'm at ground zero for this bullshit, so I'm just seeing it in real time well before you guys back east do.
