Democrats Put Forth Most Liberal Platform Ever

“Democrats this weekend advanced what is easily their most liberal platform ever as representatives of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton strove toward unity during a sometimes contentious party meeting,” NBC News reports.

“The draft platform, which still needs to be ratified at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia later this month, showed Sanders’ clear influence, even though he lost a battle on his top priority: opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership.”

Caveat: “Party platforms are unenforceable message documents that are generally ignored almost as quickly as they’re written.”
