Leftists hold a significant amount of power on city councils in most of the country's large cities.

Oakland, Portland, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. (bit different due to federal involvement but the mayor is far left)

Ok, I'm looking into this. Chicago's city council has a democratic socialist caucus of 6 people out of 50. Denver seems to have had 1 socialist out of 13 up until this year, but currently has 0. Philadelphia has 2 members of the leftist Working Families Party on the council out of 17. Los Angeles has (I think) 3 DSA members on their council out of 15, and all 3 are in the Democratic party as well.

I've never heard of DC's mayor but I sincerely doubt she's some firebrand leftist.

This is considered a significant amount of power by these neoliberal goofballs. These are cities that have supermajorities of elected normal Democrats anyway.

Sorry "Bashar al Assad", but there is nothing in your link supporting that claim other than the fact that she is a Democrat, which is the banner under which almost all politicians left of the KKK have to run under in order to have a realistic chance of winning (because you usually cannot win as a smaller party or independent). Her policies are left wing.

So you think anyone left of the KKK is "left wing" and therefore "morally bankrupt".
