Sanders may have started it, but Ocasio-Cortez and her crew and rapidly pulling Pelosi, Schumer and others to the descriptions you gave.
However, I will rebut by saying that the "dem vs rep" comparison separates the truly ideological from the rank partisan tactical expediency that politics dwells in.
It may serve Pelosi's power needs to side with the prog/left, but she'll pull back once her goals are met if she thinks staying there will threaten her leadership.
I think that, to her it's about abortion, and to Schumer it's about the Supreme Court. The rabid Left, of whatever makeup, are just their tools to get what they want.

It’s probably me...i have a hard time with the whole dem vs rep thing.
Not totally sure, other than maybe a few stances, what the difference is?
Probably why i have been a “I” my whole life?
