The political left ignores the Constitution because they hate the Constitution.
** They reject the limits on the legislative powers of Congress. (thus rejecting Article I)
** They reject the executive powers of the President if they happen to not like the President, and they reject the Electoral College. They reject the proper method and reasoning for removing a President from office. They reject the enumerated duties of a President, especially the duties of preserving/defending/protecting the US Constitution. (thus rejecting Article II)
** They reject the scope and role of SCOTUS and other inferior courts. They believe that SCOTUS are the sole interpreters of the US Constitution so long as SCOTUS agrees with them. They believe that SCOTUS are oligarchs so long as SCOTUS agrees with them. They wish to "pack the courts" with leftist ideologues who will advance their agenda rather than make lawful rulings under the US Constitution (thus rejecting Article III)
** They reject the Republican form of government that is guaranteed to the States. They reject protecting the States from invasions and domestic violence (especially when relating to immigration). (thus rejecting Article IV)
** They reject the formal amendment process, and instead regularly misuse the court system as a "work-around" to that. They wish to transform the USA into a nation under "The Oligarchy". (thus rejecting Article V)
** They reject legislating in pursuance of the US Constitution. (thus rejecting Article VI)
** They reject that the States (collectively) are the owners of the US Constitution. (thus rejecting Article VII)
** They also reject many of the Amendments to the Constitution, and actively fight against people's inherent rights (such as the right to have and express an opinion, the freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to due process, the right to a quick trial, the right to privacy, etc...)
So, as you can see, Democrats reject the whole works. It gets in the way of advancing their agenda. They hate the document, and have already effectively done away with it and transformed DC into an oligarchy.
