The Democratic party is clearly in a period of transition, as the liberals are being overrun by the Regressives.
Much like the way the "RINOs" were overrun by the Trumpsters in the Republican party..
What will remain will be two nasty, vulgar, hateful parties. Maybe THAT'S when enough people say enough is enough.

Mac,
You're reasonable..
Have they got anyone senior in the Democrats who is advocating open borders... We have a ton of Right Wing Media saying that but I have asked for it but the best they have is misinterpreted out context words of a guy who is polling at 2% in the Dem Presidential race...
AOC is not far left... She would be a moderate in Germany... Germany at present run a €25bn surplus and have strong manufacturing industry...
Of course not, no one is advocating open borders, but this country is now mired in absurd hyperbole and that's the line. So the Trumpsters are running with it to keep their tribe as afraid as possible.
That's where politics are now, and it doesn't improve until each party holds ITS OWN responsible.

Mac,
Just ask... Where has Democrats not held its own accountable or their senior members said something that was either admonished, apologised or accepted... Democrats are far from perfect but the GOP are running on crazy stuff...
What I am saying is that 6 kids have died in custody, the conditions are dire and GOP have remained largely silent on this... This isn't normal.
What I consider far right or far left are ideas not tried (as too extreme) or tried and failed and the results ignored. So when politician says he wants a Public Option, that has been tried all over the world with considerable success. It doesn't mean it is right for the US but it also doesn't mean the proposer is an extremist...
So if the GOP suggest a Healthcare system which is in operation today in the first world, I am more than ready to listen and discuss... But the GOP is so far down critising the rest if the first world they don't even use them when they can... Example: Birth right citizenship... Many countries in Europe don't grant that...
That is one of the main differences between US and other countries.... In Europe they are consistently robbing ideas of each other... Smoking in Bars was almost funny, Ireland went first and half the heath ministers in Europe were in Dublin within 6 months checking it out... Plastic Bag tax (Ireland), Traffic Congestion Charges(London), Education (Finland, for almost everything), Wind Production (Denmark), Healthcare Care Plans (US)...
Actually there is ton ideas from the US, just have a brain freeze on them...
So there is a lot of comparing of systems and seeing the results...
Note: The main one none would have from America is your voting system. The main reason UK looks a mess is due to a one man one vote system. It would also so be noted that US put in to Iraq a European Style Election system rather than there own.
