Just when they need to be closing ranks and focusing their fire on the GOP, establishment Democrats in the party leadership are fighting off an insurgent uprising by the socialists in their own hard left wing. That doesn’t exactly invite confidence among the base.
Very true. The kids at the border thing the liberals were pushing, didn’t have the desired effect. And in fact backfired a bit, as now the more radical Dems want to abolish I.C.E. That’s a debate they can’t win in “middle America”.
And then, with media attention on that Cortez (sp?) socialist woman in New York, it’s planting the seeds in more moderate/undecided voters minds, that these Democrats are a hard left party.
You make a very interesting point. I wonder if conservative and moderate voters are more likely to register as independents. I am registered as an independent, not the least of which is because I never wanted any party to be able to take my vote for granted.
