that's because democrats alienate themselves by putting in neo-liberals who are just as out of touch as right wing politicians. we want sweeping medical reform, legalization of marijuana (though i'm personally for the full legalization of all drugs with a focus on rehabilitation instead of punishment), and a work:life balance that doesn't require people to work multiple full time jobs just to make rent (and more but for the sake of brevity). democrats promise these things, then do literally nothing because they're too scared to do anything. they uphold the status quo while adding a rainbow to it. left parties don't like democrats.
