Leftward Lurch?
No. The DNC fucked the left and that's why they are in this situation.
Almost their entire presidential field raised their hands during the primary debates when asked about socialized healthcare, open borders, some even want taxpayer funded abortions for transgender women. VP candidate Harris officially states that equality of outcomes is their goal. The whole party is embracing more and more bold policies on climate change, Biden wholeheartedly admitted that he wants to end the fossil fuel industry. The whole party is embracing the BLM movement and demanded police to be defunded or otherwise gutted. They are openly talking about tinkering with the democratic system itself, contemplating nuking the filibuster, adding DC and PR as states to pad their standing in the Senate. Furthermore, they're considering packing the highest court of the country because they dont like its current composition - a blatant disregard for the separation of power.
And the list goes on and on. They moved distinctly to the left on almost every issue in recent years, unless your understanding of leftism is limited to "guillotines and gulags".
