    So start sharpening the knives! Support grassroots leftist groups in your area. Support your local union, if you’re a member, and maybe talk with them about what politicians they want to endorse.

    The Democrats will only move further and further right, until they are indistinguishable from moderate Republicans, but right now every year a Democrat is in power is time for leftists to organise with the intent of breaking off. I’ve been getting a lot of hope from the pro-Palestinian protests I’ve been going to, I think they can be a great place to network with leftist groups if you’re looking.

      First of all, wrong verb tense, and second, “until” implies they stopped when they reached that point.

      The Democratic Party has been right of Eisenhower for a while now.
