The kook fringe radical base that's energized...the Bernie burners and Alexandria's army.... want full-throated Socialism and they want it now!
However, there is emerging this latest wing of the party called the "Third way"...touting itself as a bunch of moderate Capitalism embracing 'new era' Leftists who still want big government "meddling" just not as much as the kook fringe Socialists who they think are gonna sink the Democrat party to the bottom of the Ocean floor instead of riding in on a giant 'blue Wave' to victory!
It's a delicious catfight as the party needs the energized kook fringe activists, but it knows it cannot win running on their kook fringe agenda! Stay tuned.
excerpt:
"Leading moderate Democrats forcefully argued this week that the party can embrace a robust agenda of change while still praising capitalism and downplaying income inequality.

...and still more
The longtime Washington-based group was unveiling the findings of a year-long assessment launched after the 2016 election, hoping to convince potential presidential contenders that they don’t have to adopt the hard-left agenda and style of a Bernie Sanders progressive.
"Any effort to rebrand the party reminds Democrats of the approach advocated by former President Bill Clinton in the early 1990s, when he pulled the party in a more moderate direction on social and economic issues. Third Way rejects the idea that it’s trying to do the same thing now, arguing that they are instead advocating for an entirely new approach".[eyeroll]
