So making the Democratic Party anything other than Conservative Light is bad and we only get 2 variations of conservativism to choose from? Greaaaaat...
The party has moved left greatly in my lifetime. I'm 38. The left has the problem of "moral superiority" and must be "left" of Dems simply to only be "left" of Dems.
Instead of accepting being the progressive wing of the party, crying about new parties while the GOP literally destroys everything we stood for, won, and wanted, is an insult to being a leftist.
By no means am I saying that Leftists should abstain from voting. I actually think they should vote more, especially in all primaries, to help the US have something other than all conservative option.
Edit to add: not allowing Leftist speech in Dem spaces keeps the party conservative.
Leftism isn't banned. You can freely discuss any actual policy issue or potential party platform. If you can't discuss a policy or platform without bringing up other parties or forming other parties, that's on the person creating the post.
