But promoting socialism, sky-high taxes, and open borders is probably not going to help them trounce the GOP in November. The activist base of the Democratic party is lurching left fast enough that everyone should pay attention. Activists matter because their turnout in low-turnout primaries and caucuses almost propelled leftist Bernie Sanders to victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Last month, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unseated New York congressman Joe Crowley, the No. 4 ranking House Democrat in a low-turnout primary. She benefited from organizing support from the Democratic Socialists of America. Leftists have also upset establishment Democrats in statewide primaries for governor in Colorado and Maryland.
That’s okay. Conservatives apparently don’t want them in the GOP party either.

More like the Moderates are #walkaway Walking away !
The new democratic socialists platform...
“We are socialists because we reject an economic order based on private profit, alienated labor, gross inequalities of wealth and power, discrimination based on race, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, disability status, age, religion, and national origin, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo. We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning, equitable distribution, feminism, racial equality and non-oppressive relationships. We are socialists because we are developing a concrete strategy for achieving that vision, for building a majority movement that will make democratic socialism a reality in America. We believe that such a strategy must acknowledge the class structure of American society and that this class structure means that there is a basic conflict of interest between those sectors with enormous economic power and the vast majority of the population.”
Every democrat running for office should be asked if this is what they believe.
DiFi “moderate??!?”
/giggle
You know the P in GOP stands for party, right? :-)
Excuse me, gotta go to the ATM machine.
FiFi is a “moderate” because she only wants to steal some of your stuff.
A true “progressive” wants to steal all your stuff.
A “radical” wants to send you to a concentration camp after they steal your stuff.
Say what you want, four or five or six elections from now all of these nut bags are going to be completely mainstream and they will start to be elected.
The entire "leadership"( I use that term loosely) in the US house and senate are made up of what I consider moderate Democrats with R's by their name. The Republican Party of 2018 is philosophically the Democrat Party of say circa 1988.
So are Republicans.
Not really.
Looks like the battle lines are becoming more clear.
Democrats: You’re either with “us” on the hate train or you’re against us and we hate you too. Bullying blackmail.
The harder to the left the once democrats, now progressives, go, the bigger turn out for conservatives to repel the attack on our country!
These radical things that are taking over the democrat party want to control all human activity, seize your 401k - your life savings, kill you children before they’re born, take away your property. Then take away your right to vote, tear out the 1st and 2nd amendments of the BoR,and give it all away to felons, freaks and foreigners. That’s just for starters.
Right. This statement alone tells you how far left the Democrats have gone, because Feinstein is ANYTHING but a moderate.
