To most Americans, the big problem with the Democratic Party is that it has moved too far left in recent years. If you’re among those who believe that, brace yourself.
The worst is yet to come.
A serious push is underway to move the party even further away from the political center, embrace economic plans close to pure socialism and launch radical woke culture battles.
It sounds like a bad joke, but it’s really happening. And it’s a movement that goes beyond the socialist fever dreams of Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Although some of the push is a reaction to Donald Trump’s election in November and his embrace of America First policies, the fury reflects more than just Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Consider the lead sentence in a recent fundraising email.
“Democratic voters want a more progressive party,” began a pitch from a far-left group called Justice Democrats.
To my surprise, a legitimate national poll supports the claim, and others hint at the same trend.
Survey USA, in a poll taken earlier this month, found that 50% of Dems said they want the party to “become more progressive,” 24% said it should “stay the same” and just 18% said “become more moderate.”
I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the findings, but can only wonder how much further left Dems can go before they fall off the face of the Earth.
Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and their angry fellow travelers apparently aim to find out.
Their big, boisterous rallies are all about tearing down what Sanders calls “ubercapitalism,” but history and current events show that socialism always adds to human misery.

What worries me is commies like AOC and Bernie using a leftist counterfeit of MAGA populism to sell their socialist agenda.
For instance, they’ll push “free” single-payer healthcare as relief for hard working average Americans. They’ll enact a wealth tax to make sure the “elites” are paying their fair share. Free college so hard working families have the same opportunities as the wealthy. Maybe nationalize industries using patriotic sounding language.
IOW use populism as an opening to smuggle in socialism.
In 2024, Harris resorted to word-salad idiocy because she knew running as her leftist self was not remotely viable. Harris was correct in that assumption; her prolem was that the public didn’t want a dim-witted fake either. But 2024 discredited “mainstream moderation” as a Dem path to power, and drove “moderate Dems” into hiding.
The leftmost Dems with nothing to lose are using the resulting vacuum to enrich and promote themselves to the 25% of the electorate who are radicals. That’s not of itself a viable voting block. But Sanders, AOC, and similar expendables are banking on the 2028 election being a reaction against Trump, and whatever Trump wannabees the Rep’s run. If Socialists win via Trump-weariness, they will claim to have a mandate for radicalism.
About a year hence, Dems will begin to emerge from the provinces, and do the mainstream shuffle.
This as lefty Democrat Gavin Newsom is moving rightward for a run at POTUS in 2028.
He knows his lefty ideals are not popular in “fly-over” country, whose voters he needs to win. He knows elections have tightened up and vote fraud that is legal in California is not across the country (vote harvesting, counting ballots for weeks after the election until the Democrat wins, no vote ID necessary).
He’ll show his true colors if it’s elected (God Forbid) - and you too will be paying north of $5.00/gallon for gas.
Very well said; they’ve been truly and forever indoctrinated. I never count the Dems out.....the lure of “free stuff” at someone elses expense is very powerful. The politics of envy is very powerful.
One point I think that is seriously missed or at least underestimated is that the Leftists vote for defending the cops, increasing crime and ruining small businesses because they LIKE those policies. Every mugging, senseless killing and act of subway violence is a triumph for them. Same is true of every failing small business.
That’s why they keep voting for these policies in Blue states.
This is bad only for those still stoopid enough to vote Demo — thinking that it is any relation to the Rooselvt2.0 party.
The “DE” in DEI is utterly evil. In any manner in which it can be measured. Any body endorsing any aspect of that = evil. The DNC is totally married to the concept and doomed. That is a good thing. They should have been outlawed when they provoked a war once the GOP told them no more slaves.
“The level of irony and hypocrisy coming from sanders, of all people, filthy rich as he is, is breathtaking.”
Yes, yes it is. But the typical American is totally unaware of this. Those that are aware of their wealth are not aware of the hypocrisy.
Socialist and communist regimes are run by some of the most wealthy, that’s how they keep their power and money, by keeping the populace suppressed.
The democrat party is now in plain sight anti-American with their wanting to keep foreign invaders out of jail and back onto American streets. Their leftist judges are openly attacking the last election by their lawfare.
The next step is street violence, and the media will claim it’s all Trump’s fault. Sadly, many will cave into that notion just to get the violence to stop. That’s how the commie’s win.
Sad but true.
Therefore we have to be prepared for all contingencies.
Agreed.
Their college education has convinced them that censorship is good, white men are bad, government should have the power to create “equity”—and anyone who gets in their way should be stomped.
That is the most important reason we need to defund these universities and take away some of their power.
At all.
And then the jihadis will turn on the demonrats once the useful idiot demonrats outlive their usefulness.
There is going to be a fight. Let’s get is started and over with..........................
Just like Adolf Hitler did in Germany in the 1930s.

I hope so.
Very.
Have been posting repeatedly that they want to kill us.
I want to agree, but, there ARE millions of ant-Christian people here now and Mexico and China are waiting for just that to weaken us so they can take over with little or no losses.

You look only at one side of the equation, the down side. There is very much an upside.
This battle is fought on many fronts. It may be just a small comment that you make, an instruction to a child. Everything we do is a seed planted, that others may come along and help fertilize , water and harvest.
We need to engage with purpose.
The Parable of the Sower Explained
Mat 13:18 “Now listen to the explanation of the parable about the farmer planting seeds:
Mat 13:19 The seed that fell on the footpath represents those who hear the message about the Kingdom and don’t understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches away the seed that was planted in their hearts.
Mat 13:20 The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy.
Mat 13:21 But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word.
Mat 13:22 The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced.
Mat 13:23 The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!”
I mean a crime syndicate, terrorist organization, and death cult rolled into one ... and never mind "democracy".
