Old School Democrats vs The New Democrats &Those In-Between
There is a division within the Democratic Party. There are the moderate, even centrist Democrats while there is the new, ultraliberal, even leftist Democrats. Of course, there is the non-extreme liberal Democrats. To the former, has the Democratic Party become more extreme in its ideology & its goals for America? Do you feel that contenders such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & Bernie Sanders are radicalizing the party? To the latter, do you feel that the Democratic Party is too establishment & need those like Ocasio-Cortez & Sanders to return the party to its purity? Do you feel that the Democratic Party must by any means necessary accomplish total equality in America? To those who are traditional liberals, has the Democratic Party lost its mind?
