Progressives Dems are indistinguishable from the moderates. It is not like the 1970s and 1980s when progressives like Bela Abzug and moderates like Henry Scoop Jackson had strong differences of opinion on many issues. Today, the party has become completely radicalized, and the moderates are only slightly less vocal about it. In other words, moderate only in their disposition and temperament, not in policies.

Getting not insane candidates in the Democrat Party would be better imo. Don’t see a downside to this.

GOP: American PAC funding pro-American candidates.

Democrat Party: Foreign billionaires funding anti-American candidates.

When someone has to say “I’m really Jewish.”, they probably are anti-Jew.

Usually we hear about this with outside money influencing progressives to help them. This is a switch.

Stupid party. The GOP should want to run against progressives, not “moderates”. But again, we see the GOPe are actually assistant democrats

Alarming?

It isn’t ‘alarming’ when Soros and the Dems do that for establishment-type Republican candidates.

Maybe Republicans are finally playing some of the same political games Dems have been playing for decades.

No such thing as a moderate Dem anymore.

Grandstanders….for sure…..Sinema & Manchin….no sane person would have voted for the latest bill that is floating.

But even if there are some that could be considered moderate, their moderation is behind closed doors. In public there’s no separating them from The Squad, they may not be as vocal. It’s all about how they vote and they vote with the progressives every time.

“But AIPAC can’t stand the idea that I am the clearest, strongest Jewish voice in Congress standing for a simple proposition: that there is no way to have a secure, democratic homeland for the Jewish people unless we achieve the political and human rights of the Palestinian people.”

They will still follow and vote the progressive line.

They just won’t look so extreme and wacky doing it, being ‘moderate’.

Because the left controls the narrative and we always have allowed them to do that by adopting their terms.
