The problem is this place is infested by simple minds.
There is a far left that "hates" wall street free trade and globalization. But that part of the left is not in power in this country and never will be. It's minuscule, though very loud on the internet.
Most Democrats and center-left liberals, understand that globalization is here to stay and also understand and enjoy its benefits. Simple minds have caricatured us as home waiting for our welfare checks, and they revel in their stupidity, but their demented fantasy lives are immaterial, and thank god or we'd all be on here discussing snuff porn.
What Dems and center-left liberals desire, generally speaking, are sensible free trade agreements, globalization, and capitalism but with very strong social safety nets, safety guards, and regulations.
You can't really talk to these idiots here as their idea of a good "rebuttal" is "who did you fuck last night whore".
I mean...are these the people you want deciding your next leader? Think about it.
