There is no such thing as a pro-business or center-right Democrat. If you oppose labor rights you are simply not a Democrat, and it makes no bloody difference that you try to label yourself one which is exactly what is wrong with the party. Pro-labor is the number one core belief of Democrats. You don't get to pick and chose which core beliefs to be in favor of or not. And that's why having two parties with one in lockstep on every single core belief and the other being inclusive to everyone else is an enormous fucking failure that guarantees an enormous rightward shift of the whole country that only goes further and further right. That's part of how we got here. The other part is having two parties that both kiss the asses of their corporate masters who fund them.
