Why there are NO moderates left in the Democrat Party

Quote
The reason there are no moderate Democratic candidates is because Donald Trump’s 2016 victory accelerated a plan that has been in the works since Al Gore’s 2000 election loss. The plan since then has been to abandon the ideals of Bill Clinton and embrace a more radical tone. No, it wasn’t Democratic leadership that launched the plan. In fact, they’ve been fighting it ever since. But 2016 blew any hopes that moderate Democratic leadership had of steering the party back towards the center.

This is now the party of Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer, and Elizabeth Warren.

It is now the party of socialism, abortion-on-demand, gungrabbing, and mob rule. Some would say it has always been, but until their humiliating 2016 loss, there was at least an attempt to hold on to pragmatic centrism. Remember, even Barack Obama initially ran in opposition to gay marriage and illegal immigration, among other things that are anathema in today’s Democratic Party.
....
Mainstream media will attempt to paint every Democratic candidate they can as a centrist. Don’t believe it. Don’t let anyone you know believe it. Even if someone has been a centrist in the past, they’ll change the moment they’re allowed on Capitol Hill.

i decided i am not going to vote for any Democrat ! i don't care what job they are looking to get voted into and we will just leave it at that... 
I will allow myself one personal observation. If you want to disarm yourself, that is your choice. The following quote is a favorite of mine and something to keep in mind when you make that choice.

“Sheep don’t tell wolves what’s for dinner.”

I glanced at a lead headline in the NYT this morning: "Democrats do well in the midterms, Progressives not so much".

:facepalm:

Part of their fake news to make it appear that Democrats and Progressives are two different animals, which they are not, of course.   Maxine Waters proved that during the Obama regime when she was interrogating oil company executives and blurted out what she had in mind "This Liberal is all about socializing ... err ..."
