Left wing moves more left.

Both parties: OMG WE NEED TO STOP THIS!

Reich wing becomes literally fascist and forms a borderline autocracy

Both parties: ehh... Some bad eggs out there have bad views but it's their right.

“[E]xtreme far-left voices gaining purchase over the past year … represent a sharp break from a traditional left wing in American politics,” the July 23 email says. This break, the email continues, has led to the rise of a faction that is both “radical” and “illiberal”

Oh no, not illiberal! [clutches pearls]

Calling "Third Way" a top Democratic Organization is a stretch.

The most polite thing you could say about them is they're well funded, really.

Anyone who was paying attention during Hillary's run has known this for many years. The dam is breaking now though. Primary these corporate Dems.
