Is there a way to extend background color of unordered list items to go behind bullets?

Question

I have an unordered list and I want to have the list items have alternating background colors. I'm using bullets in the list. Is there a way to extend the background of the color horizontally to get under the bullet?

Margin and padding just push the bullet away.

Use list-style-position: inside.
