A group of moderate Democrats quietly gathered in a Virginia phone booth last month.

Phone booths are almost as scarce as moderate Democrats.

It was standing room only...in the last phone booth in America.

Jeffries is not that guy. He is visibly a leftist. The guy to watch is also a New York congressman, Ritchie Torres. He might even be the real deal. He’d never get FR votes but he could lead a change in democrat direction to get a lot of Trump voters. The only question is would making such a move lose the Left and prevent electoral success. But watch for the name. Ritchie Torres. And he has a plan. He had no intention of getting in the NYC Mayor race cause that’s an end not a beginning.

0 were the moderate Democrats.

“Activist groups and progressive staffers push unpopular cultural positions, making it seem like Democrats are more extreme than they actually are”

What?

Democrat Senators voted 45 to 0 for men to play in women’s sports.

It is the Senate Democrats who are all insane leftist extremists.

Every single one of them.

I’ll check out Torres but stick with what I said about Jeffries. He’s sly and deceptive and good at it. He’s a hard-core leftie and will be better at the game than Obama.

The Dems have a lot of work to do in recovering from being basically destroyed by Donald Trump and themselves.

LOL! Cute story if it was true.

“FOX NEWS FIRST: DNC taps far-left progressive to revitalize party”

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dnc-hires-new-top-exec-with-long-history-pushing-racial-grievances-leftist-ideology

“As calls continue to grow for the Democratic Party to moderate following a disappointing performance in the November election, the Democratic National Committee announced the hiring of an executive director with a history of promoting far-left ideologies.

The DNC announced the hiring of Roger Lau as executive director in a press release highlighting his long career, which includes working on campaigns for Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

A Fox News Digital review found multiple instances of Lau associating with progressive causes, including signing onto a letter in 2020 that claimed the United States is built on “racism” and “genocide.””

So they are going to act like, what they are not, to try to fool people in to voting for them. Doesn't sound any different, than, what they do right now.

“Embrace patriotism, community, and traditional American imagery.”

nothing about actually embracing the VALUES embodied by said imagery, though ... i guess that would be a bridge too far for even the so-called “moderate” Dems ...

Civil war in the Dem. Party. Wonder where the left-wing media will end up?

Well the Democrats have to either go fake moderate Clinton or all the way Bernie commie. I wonder who will come out and say that the era of big government is over?
