The Democrat party has been split into 2 factions, the traditionalists, and the radicals.
Now that the radicals lost them all control of the House of Representatives, will the radical extremists be forced to move right by the traditional Dems?
I think we are already seeing it. AOC and her squad have been very quiet lately...not much from Bernie Sanders either.
Nah - they will claim that the losses were because the party did not move far enough to the left, and needs to double down on their pet issues
Agree. With Sheila Jackson encouraging violence In Minneapolis during Antifa riots, there is no room for moderates. Keeping the pedal floored on green and banning coal and fracking is the new moderate democrat.
Democrats use the word progressive because they know socialist doesn’t work well in polling groups. Same meaning but that’s the shell games “moderate” democrats play.
Moderate democrats…. It appears Webster dictionary no longer aligns the two words together. Extinct. Obsolete.
No they will stay the same. They will not see the losses as the voters rejecting their far Left schemes but as a challenge to wake up more people to realize that they do not know what is good for them and only The Squad can show them the way.
It was like 4 years ago when AOC told us that we only had 9 years left to live due to Global Warming. That means we only have 5 years left and they are going to have to push their agenda even harder in these waning days of civilization...

I don't see any major changes from either party given that neither was given a clear mandate.
Midterms usually end up with a shift in power. Sometimes it is a greater shift. This was a nomiinal shift given the historical track record of midterms.
Radicals lost them control...I thought it was inflation.

We'll see.
The "traditionalists have voted for the radicals all along so they are all in the same pot now.

I thought when they really started pushing further and further left over the past 2 years, the moderate Dems would push back, but I have not seen that. I was shocked the Dems were able to hold the Senate because I thought the moderate Dems would stay home, & more Indy's would vote Red.
I underestimated the power of the hive mentality, and how they stick together no matter what....even with runaway inflation, and gas prices. I'm starting to think if inflation goes to 30%, and people start to starve, they'd still vote Dem. Like Rush used to say, Liberalism is a mental disease.
I know they still have a Dem Mayor in Detroit in his 2nd term, so you'd think I would have learned from that.
