Inside the Democratic Party convention were delegates who easily fit into the category of left-progressive. They were delegates representing every state. They obviously don’t understand their presence at the convention as somehow in contradiction to their politics. I wish others who don’t share this view were as wise. This narrow conception of the left should be retired. It’s more trouble than it is worth.
The left isn’t and shouldn’t be an exclusive club, but a big tent. By the same token, the present day Democratic Party should be seen as a field of unity as well as struggle with the accent on unity, especially at this moment when the future of the country hangs in balance.
