Liberals will never move left cause they're pro-capitalism.

    It's not for liberals to move the democratic party left, it's for everybody that wants the democratic party to change to do so.

    Their base is whoever votes in the primaries.

    It took about 7 years for the Republican party to change from the Bush/Cheney era to full on fascism. The democratic party is not immune to a drastic change (hopefully towards the opposite end of the spectrum), but it won't happen overnight and people that want this change must get involved. Money allows to promote an agenda, helps with organizing a campaign, but ultimately it's the people who vote.

    I only used that word cause of the person I replied to. I personally don't view the Democrats as capable of moving left, at least not on the major stage. The only way to get a leftist party is to destroy the major parties through violence.

    Then explain why the entire planet is capitalist and yet other countries have FAR more left leaning parties.

    The Democrat party can be moved left if liberal voters make it happen.

    EDIT: Yo downvoters, start a violent revolution or keep your fucking downvotes to yourself. Or, better yet, submit an idea, if you can, for what you think can be done. Because in reality, your options are start a violent revolution or reform the Democrat party. There are no viable 3rd parties in America and none are even trying to be viable. Use your fucking brains instead of your fingers to downvote. You are part of the problem.

    EDIT 2: Honestly, my bad guys. I didn't notice I was in .ml. The lack of common sense makes a lot more sense now.

    Not by voting.

    Lol.

    Can you provide examples of countries with viable left leaning parties that didn't get there by voting?

    You think working class organization is successful without voting in candidates that champion their cause?

    Crazy how some people have very strong opinions on politics but no basic understanding of how democracy works

    You want change: organize and vote. Lots of comments here that seem to view politics as a show, as if we were powerless against the events that unfold week after week. It's only a show if you don't care enough to participate.
