If the Democratic Party moves to the left, there should be new party representing the middle. It could be called the Bull Moose Party after Theodore Roosevelt's party. The Republican Pary represents the right. Now Americans would have a chose among the left, right, or moderate just as in Germany there is a left, the conservatives which won the election representing moderates and the AFD representing the right.

More Kabuki Theatre to combine with Trump's Punch & Judy Show. Ought to be distracting enough to sneak in the digital dollar under everyone's noses.

Schumer’s move was unpopular with both the far left and the moderate democrats. AOC replacing him would unite and strengthen the party, not destroy it.

Schumer was correct. Shutting down the government would have directed people's anger towards the Democrats. AOC is too far to the left. Democrats have to move toward the center to draw more voters.

What AOC and Bernie Sanders are doing now is on point. What Schumer is doing is not. He seems compromised or corrupt somehow. I don’t trust him.

It's good that they're having rallies, but they are too far to the left to attract most Americans.
