Do you see mainstream Democrats as representative of "the left", or are you just trolling?
The DNC may be more left than the Republicans but they don't represent the left. They have become little more than a neoliberal compromise between the left and the right. Sure, there are leftist elements within the party trying to drag it kicking and screaming, but most of the established folks are center or center-right especially when it comes to financial issues and the working class.
