If only we could vote on leftist candidates in the primary for the DNC, as though it isn't a grand filter before anyone even gets to run...

Is there a sitting member of the Democratic party that you would consider a "leftist" or one that holds leftist values?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 hours ago

Depends on what you mean by "leftist values." The closest is probably Rashida Tlaib, but in general "The Squad" consists of Social Democrats, which I would consider Center-Right.
