Is the Democratic Party morphing into Democratic Sociallists?

[bambino]

Maybe. Another DSA candidate beat a longtime Democratic House member. Bernie doesn’t claim to be a Democrat unless he’s running for POTUS. The DNC has pushed back against Bernie, but Biden is listening to him. Hillary didn’t. So what’s going on here? Will there be a Democratic Party in the future? Will they push back? Do they care?

They just want to destroy everything. You think they'll stop once every statue is removed? When every street is renamed? When the police are.defunded? What they want is destruction.

Morphing???
Come on little b,
Dims are already there

But here's the question, will the Dems/Dims fracture into two separate partys?

I hope they fracture into the AOC/non AOC branches - it is our best hope to hold the Senate.

In the old days LBJ would have bribed the wayward with goodies for their district and personal account, and threatened those who went too far. AOC can likely be bribed but it might be a high price.

That’s what I’m referring to. Will the DNC let these DSA candidates run under the Democratic Party? Or will they say you’re not wanted?

AOC received DNC funding.
That's the interesting thing.
My take is that the Dims will continue to fail to make long range plans because they are afraid of a 3 party race. But, they will simply drive conservative dims to the other side of the voting block.

I agree. Or they will stay home. It appears from some Democratic strong holds, the establishment Dems are getting the boot. I guess it’s millennials and they’re Commie education. The chickens are coming home to roost indeed!

The so called moderate Democrats know that they can't put up a fight in their party so they have no choice but to go along with the radical agenda. Anything else will limit their party. IF Republicans and Independents not happy with Trump can't see what happens if this Democrat party takes power, then don't be surprised when "burn it down to built it right" becomes the theme for the next 4 years.

LibDems are long since gone over to subservience to socialism and Marxism.

And will go further down that road with the Soylent Green New Deal - read it if U do not believe me - it is atotal socialist remake into an Orwellian future.

reality mattrs not to these crazies - the only thing that matters is Marxist ideology.

I've been referring to them as the Dimocratic Socialist for some time.

There are no more "moderate Democrats". The "blue dog" Democrats are long gone. Soon, they will all be to the left of Nancy Pelosi.

blue dog democrats are still around, just not that many. they've been co-opted by the left (Biden faction), the new left (Pelosi faction) and the neo left (AOC faction).

The fallacy of their utopian ideas is that sooner or later it will morph into a full blown Thugocracy, just like the old Soviet Union, East Germany, Red China, etc.

What Sanders and Warren proposed is much farther left than European Democratic Socialists. The European Democratic Socialists don't tax corporate income at 39%, or the wealthy at 70% tax rates + up to 9%/year tax on their wealth + over 50% of everything they've got left when they die. The European Democratic Socialists are smart enough not to actually try to get to 0% net carbon emissions in 10 years. The European Democratic Socialists aren't going to wildly devalue their currencies by implementing Modern Monetary Theory.

As you say Bambino it's scary that Biden is listening to them.
