That would include the Catholic Church, the Unions, etc.
Believe me...in the NorthEastern United States there are plenty of hardcore Catholics who are vehemently anti-abortion.
My belief is that they simply stay home at election time because of their beliefs.
Say for instance...a guy is in the AFL-CIO. He is told to vote Democrat. End of story. His dad voted that way, And his grandfather voted that way.
But his wife? She probably just won't vote at all. She can't vote Democrat because of her stupid religious beliefs (probably a Catholic) and she can't vote Republican because it would be against her own benefit because her husband is in the union.
Anyway, that's my theory about the "Christian Left". I'm guessing that those two people in Ohio may have been part of that group.
Oh, check it out...they have their own FaceBook page! lol

There is of course a Christian Left and even left wing extremist, however they make up next to nothing in terms of the voting population so they are irrelevant. Meanwhile the radicals on the right have become the mainstream and have enough support in congress and at state level in many area's to get shit passed.
This is why the radicals on the right are a threat to this country. The radicals on the left have next to no support, so it's the same as saying the Pirate party would ever get anything done.
I mean really the most liberal people in congress is Bernie Sanders & Elizabeth Warren and Warren has done a great deal to go after the banking industry which anyone should support. Sanders has not really pushed much on the federal level, but he's done a lot for the state of VT (exactly as a senator should do).
So when you compare the most Liberal among the Democrats vs the most Conservative among the Republicans, it's like night and day difference in which ones are trying to better their states and or the country vs destroy it.
