"Democrat" does not mean "leftist."

Biden, Clinton, Obummer, and most of the politicians in their periphery are center/center right on a global scale.

Unfortunately, in America, saying "I wish my tax dollars went to health care and education instead of wars halfway around the world" gets you labeled a communist.

If that had no impact on you, it's likely because you've been conditioned to believe that anything slightly to the left of a full blown nazi is a leftist.
