Has the Democratic Party been Hijacked by the Far Left?

0

You have it backwards: the Republicans are so far to the right that it distorts the entire political spectrum in the US. It is they who have been hijacked by a variety of goofballs. If you read up on fascism – the archetypal far right ideology – in standard history texts, you will be shocked to see how close the rhetoric of Bush and McCain comes to it – let alone the rhetoric of the religious far-right, the survivalist gun nuts, the racists, or the anti-immigrant single issue voters, etc. who all side with the GOP. The Democrats are not even left wing compared to the left in most developed countries, and they certainly are not far-left by any thinking persons definition. In contrast, American Republicans would be almost at the extreme right wing anyplace in Europe.
