Far-left Dems plan to purge moderates from the party as payback for resisting Biden’s $3.5T bill

The political impasse among Democrats over President Biden’s $3.5 trillion social welfare and climate change bill has convinced liberals that the only way to advance their agenda is by purging moderates and taking over the party.

Although some on the far left have long held this view, many say the intransigence of moderate Democrats on Mr. Biden’s spending agenda has hardened their resolve.

The Democratic Party’s so-called “moderates” have had it with Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and other members of the Squad. These “centrists” are laboring to separate themselves semantically from these neo-Marxists, although their differences end there.

These “middle-of-the road” Democrats call themselves “normal.” If they keep parroting that word, their feathers will turn green.

“A lot of activists and donors who never thought about primaries are now understanding that it really matters whether we have a corporate-aligned Democrat or a bold progressive in these seats,” said Adam Green, a co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.

The American Conservative Union’s recently modernized Web site makes it a snap to review senators’ and House members’ votes clear back to 1972. Running from 0 for most liberal to most conservative at 100, the ideological spectrum cleaves into thirds: left (0 to 33), middle (34 to 66) and right (67 to 100). Moderate Democrats should inhabit this center slice.

Good luck finding them there.
