    Bernie had an effect on the party too, except he did it in a way that didn’t backfire for progress.

    if by that, you mean progressing the party to the right, you’re correct. he hasn’t reversed the course of the democrat party at all.

      He hasn’t? I’m pretty sure universal healthcare is more popular than ever among Democrats; and things like tuition reimbursement would’ve been inconceivable merely 10-years-ago.

      There is ambiguity in your argument of them creeping to the right.

        that’s not leftist.

            leftists are communists and anarchists. communism is a stateless classless moneyless society. what you’re calling leftists is actually fascist.
