The US had "viable" leftist parties and candidates in the past. Eugene Debs, for one.

I posted an hour or so ago that the furthest left a Democrat went, a US President, was Roosevelt.. and he was NOT a leftist

Expecting the Democrats, who are backed by of a majority of American capitalists and inherited wealth (most aren't Republican) to turn "left"... like I said, I guess it's a possibility...

The incentive for these folks isn't a vote, it's cash
