From coast to coast, the ultra-left is on a quest to take over the Democratic Party
New York Post ^ | May 23, 2026

The ultra-left’s conquest of the Democratic Party continues apace, as extremists triumph over more centrist candidates in primaries across the country.

The dynamic may be most visible in Maine, where Graham Platner drove old-line Dem Gov. Janet Mills out of the race before the primary even happened.

Platner is as hard-left as they come: all out on gender extremism, pushing anti-Israel lunacy to the extreme (including publicly cheering antisemitic conspiracy theorists) and screaming about the rich despite his own ultra-privileged background.

The Party of “Maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time” is going to go further left?

Democrats started as the pro slavery party. After Lincoln took away their slaves they transitioned to the universal slavery of Socialism. In other words they have always been the evil Anti-american party. The only reason to keep them around is because rotten people are attracted to politics . If the RATs became extinct the rotten people would simply run as Republicans, as many already do now.

The communists announced this as one of their goals back in the 50s. Entered into the Congressional Record in ‘63, along with numerous other goals. They’ve succeeded in every one of their 45 goals. Thanks to those filthy democrats.

From what rock did you crawl out from under? The DNC has been total trash for decades. At least out here in CaCaLand. That is how we got stuck with Newscum and how the rest of y’all are gonna get him as Pres.
