Do you think the Democratic Party is a Leftist Party?

[Two Thumbs]

Hi to everyone. I am an italian guy interested in politics.

Here in Italy a lot of people says that USA have not a Left and a Right. It is said that you have a Far Right and a Right Party (Reps and Dems respectively). The ones who says this often also says it about our own Left Parties when they have to run a government and they fail to satisfy what this persons want. They are usually against capitalism and free market, so I think they are just biased, but I would like to think what do you think about it.

Do you feel the Democratic Party as a sincerely Leftist Party?

Doesn't it strive with the fact that you still have no public health and no gun control? (Despite I am a supporter of the free market and personal freedom, the lack of free health and of gun control is incomprehensible to me - this are more or less the only two big things that make me sympathize with the other italian who says you have not a "real left").

We have public health and many many gun laws

The dems support government tyranny over our lives. To me, that's leftist

As you can see Alextla, what we lack in political diversity we more than make up for in paranoid imagination.

And commie propaganda.

Our Democrats, who cry openly for a true Marxist economy, are economically to the LEFT of former genuine Communists in China and Russia
