Considering what you think "the Left" is, what is the Green Party? Communist? Your description of "the Left" comprises only moderate/centrist politics. Your complaints about the Democrats are valid, but I find the label you chose to be quite insulting to those who actually believe in progressive, leftist politics. In fact, the very idea of painting the Democratic Party as leftist is despicable, considering their puppy-like eagerness to be patted on the head by the most conservative douchebags in America.
But then, knowing you're an ex-HuffPoster, I suppose you think being a "true" liberal means believing every word that comes out of Deepak Chopra's mouth, and using crystal healing to cure scarlet fever.
