The Sierra Club and the Human Rights Campaign? Aren't they a bunch of homosexuals and tree-huggers? That's the left/mass organization/movement you're talking about?
Or maybe it's the AFL-CIO, the function of which was intended from the beginning by Samuel Gompers. I guess supporting the entire Cold War, and meekly whining about how the law doesn't permit them to organize, as the number of organized workers dwindles down to 8%, means they're not "ultra-leftists". The Democratic leadership could give a damn what John Sweeney thinks, why should anyone else?
