They are controlled opposition. Their only function is to pacify the left and make sure no actual lefties make it out of primaries. They answer to the ruling class same as Republicans.
having an actual left actually hurts the republicans too, thats why they demonize it, becausit shows there are alternatives to right wing, alt right political parties, then jus the GOP.
FFS, please shut the fuck up. The "lefties" in Democratic party that are super popular around here are Democrats as well.
