Centrist Democrats push back against party’s liberal surge

From the halls of Congress to the presidential campaign trail, Democratic moderates are beginning to push back against the wave of liberal energy and shoot-the-moon policy ideas that have captured the party’s imagination over the last two months.

They worry that the sweeping proposals and hardball tactics of liberal firebrands could alienate centrist voters in the 2020 election, even as they hold out hope that Democratic primary voters, focused on defeating President Trump, will check the party’s move to the left.

The moderates’ concerns came to a head this week when one of the newest Democratic stars appeared to threaten colleagues who would not toe the liberal line, raising the specter of a cleave in the party between moderates and purists similar to a long-standing divide in the Republican Party.

Even the Dems hate liberals

The language in the article is too kind.

The "ideas" of AOC are just Left Wing notions.

An 8th grader thinks the way AOC does -- let's just have Medicare for all and pay for it somehow.

Heck, let's give Medicare to all illegals and, what the hell, let's give Medicare to everybody in the world.
