As usual she nails it:
"I wanted to go back to what you said about our ‘left party’. We don’t
have a left party in the United States. The
Democratic Party is not a left party. The Democratic Party is a center
or center-conservative party. We can’t even get a floor vote on Medicare For All. Not even a floor
vote that gets voted down. We can’t even get a vote on it. So this is
not a left party. There are left members inside
the Democratic Party that are working to try to make that shift
happen. But you’re right, it does convey a certain sentiment about true
believers, and there are a lot of true believers in that we can
capitalism our way out of poverty in the Democratic Party. If anything, that’s probably the majority."
