The “moderate Democrat” is like the Tooth Fairy, a pleasant fantasy that we'd like to believe in, but it doesn't really exist.
Many reasonable people got excited after the election of Congressman Seth Moulton. comment A Massachusetts Democrat and father of “two young girls” quoted in the New York Times said he didn't want his children “to be run over by men or former male athletes on the field.”
The moderate Democratic Party is a relic of the past. Tom Daschle and Joe Crowley would never be elected under the umbrella of today's radicalized Democratic Party.
But Moulton only suggested that Democrats should shift their message on transgenderism, saying: quickly Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Steve Kerrigan strongly condemned the lawmaker's comments.
But the truth is that Moulton is no cool classical liberal. He's pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-open borders, and alarmist about climate change. he lower than the score from the conservative Heritage Foundation. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (DN.Y.), corybush (D-Mo.), Rashida Tlaib (Michigan Democratic Party), Jamal Bowman (DN.Y.), and Ilhan Omar (D-Min).
Yet, because admission to liberal sanctuaries requires absolute ideological purity, Moulton was pilloried.
Similarly, in preparation for his 2026 gubernatorial run, Bronx Representative Ritchie Torres recently endorsed New York Governor Kathy Hochul.new joe biden” He talks about her “failed leadership” but not her policies. In fact, he says, “She means well, but she's incompetent.”
This young lawmaker is just pretending to be a moderate. This is a politically astute but deceptive approach. Torres was appointed in 2022. supported Radical policies that provide citizenship and health care to all illegal immigrants are dangerous for all Americans.
The moderate Democratic Party is a relic of the past. Tom Daschle and Joe Crowley would never be elected under the umbrella of today's radicalized Democratic Party.
Take Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D.N.J.), for example. He is a darling of Jewish liberals and consistently touts his pro-Israel credentials when it is politically expedient. He promoted Biden's pressure campaign on Israel in April. concerns About “How Israel carried out aspects of this war.”
And members of Congress who profess to be friends with Israel are defending Israel even though they don't vote like far-left anti-Semites.
last year vote Calls to expel Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee do not follow party lines, and House Democrats, including Gottheimer and Torres, have chosen to protect a Jew-hating politician.
No matter what these so-called moderates say, today's Democratic Party has no room for more control. Ultimately, the priority is always to harness the energy of the party that still exists among progressives.
Formerly a senator ed markey (Massachusetts Democratic Party) declared support for a Jewish state at a major pro-Israel conference sponsored by the Jewish Party. American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Today, the marquee is consistently vote to block To prevent arms sales to Israel during the war against genocidal terrorists.
But it's better for voters to know the truth.
Far-left progressives are wolves in wolf's clothing. Politicians pretending to be centrist Democrats are nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing.
No matter how twisted and abhorrent the policies may be, knowing what to expect from a radical Rashida Tlaib is a lot safer than having your hopes dashed by a grumpy Chuck Schumer. As well-meaning liberals continue their misguided obsession with shaping the party's moderate course, the Democratic Party establishment is ensuring that politicians who aspire to be sound stewards of progressive power elites are marginalized.
Democrats like Mr. Torres are unlikely to propose a substantive break with Mr. Hochul and the progressives their party has helped popularize. The only question is whether voters will continue to be fooled by politicians who will eventually abandon any semblance of sanity due to the cannibalization of the Democratic Party by the left.
Our nation's extraordinary challenges will not be solved by leaving important decisions to spineless members of Congress whose power depends on kowtowing to the party's increasingly influential progressive wing.
I believed in the Tooth Fairy, and then I turned 8 years old. I would like to believe that today's pseudo-centrist Democrats are sincere. However, when I woke up, there was nothing under my pillow.
