You get a clue. I have lived in many places and in most our Democrats would be the right or center right party. But I suppose it is more important to start threads slamming the most active part of the Democratic Party then if anyone disagrees with that premise, disparage them. But of course you are so much smarter. Our centrist candidate won the presidency so who am I to complain.
