Has anyone else ever been called "Far/Extreme Left"? Mystifying, isn't it?

Explain how that one that is avid for universal health care can jeopardize the ACA

You don't recall the out-rage here on DU when the ACA came out and did not include the P/O? You don't recall all the cries that it should have been included even if it didn't have the votes? Surely, you remember this thread (just to cite one of probably hundreds): http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5843431

Those that you label "the extreme left" marched against the Iraq war. Would you say their actions were jeopardizing Bush's war efforts which were supported by the centrist Democrats? Did you support the centrist Democrats when they kissed King Georgie's feet and sent our troops to their deaths.

Those are not those that "I" call the extreme Left.

Explain to me what issues the extremists on the left have that you disagree with.

I disagree with extremists whenever they would reject the doable imperfect for the undoable perfect. And I have provided examples.

The ACA was a great accomplishment, but unlike the sorry-assed centrists, I am not satisfied. I will continue to fight for universal health care. Call me names if it makes you feel better, but I am a proud extreme leftist.

I don't know anyone, that favored U/C or single-payer, that is "satisfied with" the ACA ... it doesn't go far enough and still maintains an unnecessary for-profit 3rd party. But that "unsatisfiedness" is not what makes one an extremist; that designation is for thoserejecting the ACA for what should have been.

Finally, a sure sign of extremism is finding solace in playing the victim in online posts where you would have someone "calling you names", where that never happened.
