6. That is to be expected in US politics as that is where the money is

I would consider us extremely lucky to have a candidate that is even a fraction to the left of center and just a fraction below authoritarian.

The public is most assuredly not in the same quadrant as most of our politicians, also I would wager that those at least in the progressive populist group would chart far to the left of the bank and war profiteering employees we call politicians.

Just for fun, take the test to see what I mean. I tested about where Kucinich was last time I did it in '08, I may have moved even further left since then, perhaps I will take it again.
