By your logic, the "far left" encompasses 50% of this country. I don't think that most Democrats fit that descritption, just as most Republicans aren't really "far-right."

Perhaps I missed your point because of this line

Your point is very vaguely stated. When I think far left, I think far left, I think Greens aka Communist, I think groups like Answer, and I think of dirty hippies looting stores while pretending to protest the WTO.
The problem for the Democrats is that its not that they are all far left, but that the far left has to big a voice in it.
