I doubt there's many, they don't allow ideological diversity on the left. Just ask J.K. Rowling what happens when you dare to believe something other than the current leftist dogma.
Your thread title asks about liberals but here you're asking moderate Democrats, so it's a little confusing.
Those who are merely "liberals" are either right wing Democrats or the left wing of the Republican party. Modern leftists, meaning the center and left wing of the Democratic party are either progressives, socialists, or outright communists.
Liberals are in the process of being excommunicated from the church of the left.
I am fed up with some things, sure. It won’t send me to the Republicans though, as I find too many of their social policies morally repugnant. I’m researching third party, but my vote doesn’t count anyway. I’d never, ever, not with a gun to my head vote for the morally corrupt, low intelligence, terrible leadership of Trump. God, no.
It’s a tiny vocal minority that screams the loudest.
It’s like asking republicans if the alt right or white supremacist groups make it hard to stay a republican.
The extremists are the minority they just have the loudest voices
It's not really like that at all. The "alt right" or "white supremacists" are not embraced by the Republican party and they are an incredibly tiny number of people total.
The Democratic party on the other hand, has embraced the far left and they've been moving further and further left for over a decade now. Left wing extremism is now mainstream for that party. Once upon a time you could say that it was just "loud voices" but those voices are coming from elected officials and nearly everyone who ran for the Democratic nomination for president.....not quite the same as a handful of rednecks that maybe you heard about online.

There's a new group called the young people--- they seem to be A-political, when it comes to reps or dems -- Can you not all see that?

Young people are not "new" and they are not apolitical. Young people have always been pretty far left as left wing ideas sell better to those who are naive and kind of dumb. As those young people get older, most of them end up with more mature political views.

Young people are far more likely to support BLM protests and police reform. They are completely on board with this narrative. That leads them directly into the arms of the Democratic party.
Smart Republicans know this and that's why even THEY are promoting some level of reform for our police.

I think this time- that trend is no longer true... I'll put my money on it. We are split 50/50 or so left to right, the new kids on the block are media driven worldwide. I am often surprised to see what my older grands google - they have other ideas my friend, this time they are connected globally not regionally.
