The Direction Of The Democratic Party....

Zam-Zam

Senator
…..has some people concerned, including Democrats:


Asked whether the "Democratic Party has moved too far to the left, too far to the right, or would you say the Democratic Party hasn't moved too far in either direction", nearly half -- 47%! -- of respondents say that the party has moved too far left. Asked hat same question of the Republican Party and just 37% say it has moved too far right.

Almost 6 in 10 men (57%) say Democrats have moved too far left as do 55% of whites with a college degree. Whites, generally speaking, are much more likely to say the party has moved too far left (53%) as compared to Hispanics (33%) and blacks (17%).


All of which is very interesting -- and should be worrisome for a Democratic Party establishment already worried that several of their leading presidential candidates are too liberal for the country at large.
Remember that the positions that one or several Democratic candidates for president had advocated for during the primary season so far include:


* Eliminating all private health insurance in favor of a single, government-run system

* The "Green New Deal," a massive (and massively expensive) overhaul of the way in which we consume and think about energy in this country

* Mandatory buybacks of AR-15s and AK-47s

* Decriminalization of illegal immigration

These are not views that a majority of the country holds.

Since the Dems' 2020 presidential candidate is looking more and more likely to be an avowed socialist, with the documented century of failure, death, starvation, violence, and human suffering that portends, I'm really curious to see how they plan to sell this catastrophe to the American people. Racial hatred has seemed to work pretty well for the Democrats so far, but I wonder if they can sustain that long enough to get a socialist tyrant into the Oval Office. Good times...

The Democrat Party was once home of Liberals. Liberals were tolerant, inclusive, open to new ideas of how to make life better for everyone.

Now, the Democrat Party is home of Leftists. Leftists are inclusive to criminals, felons, LGBT, and Muslims, but not tolerant of any thought more conservative than far-left-almost-socialist thought. This gives the illusion of tolerance while it is absolutely not tolerant at all. The Democrat Party is a party of Leftist lockstep. The Democrat Party hates the rich........while all of its leaders are filthy rich. o_O

I predict that Democrats will be shocked when they lose everything in the 2020 election. The party will have to restructure. The question is whether they will go full-blown Socialist a la Bernie Sanders/ AOC or whether they will go back to their Liberal leanings. My money is on AOC-Sanders Socialist Democrats. Get on board or leave the Democrat Party.

Well, something has changed within the party, of that we can be sure.
