re: The Far Left was never what they said they were

The Democrat Party has stood for cronyism and nothing but cronyism since their beginnings as the Democratic-Republicans. They're using today's Far Left just as they've used every group that has ever supported them. And they'll cast them aside as soon it's advantageous, just like they did with blue-collar workers. The good news is that this backstabbiness makes the whole Overton window thing less of a lead pipe lock.
