How many actual liberals or progressives are in Congress? |
|
A handful.
This myth that the "far left" has taken over the Democratic Party is a lie.

1. I would say any rep who has cosponsored H.R. 676 (Medicare for All) is at least a liberal. |
|
And that's 86 at last count.

Of course Im using the term liberal as its used in the rest of the world here.
In the US what we consider liberal would be called moderate conservatives everywhere else.
