ABF, the democrats have proven themselves often too unwilling to actually pursue their own agenda for fear of not being able to pursue their agenda in the future. They've got a reputation among progressives for being limp wristed. Hillary is not the best presidential candidate running right now, but she's the one that's going to win the primary (as ridiculous a system as that is), and every republican candidate is just SO MUCH WORSE that she looks amazing in comparison. Frankly, I don't expect her to actually live up to her campaign promises any more than Obama has, but at least her promises aren't gut wrenchingly terrible like everything the republicans promise.
The democrats are not leftists, they are centrists. Check in with pretty much any leftist party in europe to confirm this. It's just that our "right" is so FAR right that a centrist platform looks progressive in comparison.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
