"Perhaps it was the party’s intelligentsia, not Biden, that was out of touch with the modern Democratic electorate." Yep. Throw in the media, which tries to impose its own parochial fixations, especially around identity, on voters who do not subscribe to their blinkered ideology

This is an accurate characterization of Bernie's performance in 2016. Anyone who covered that race (as I did) knew that many people were drawn to him simply as the only Hillary alternative. He still increased the popularity of socialism, but not to the degree often portrayedpic.twitter.com/izCqNtd4rP

There is no "far left" in the democratic party. Corporate Dems are so far right that they make Centrist look like leftwing radicals.

A correction: "The [center-right] and [far-right] have created a myth that the far-left has taken over the Democratic party..." specifically to prevent the moderate-left from doing so.

There it is.

Nearly all (20+) of the Dem presidential candidates are espousing far-Left policies and ideals. That's not a myth.

Nah bro. The Dem Base is pretty far left. They just also know their ideas are dumb. It’s this weird mix of wanting crazy ideas but not wanting them to actually become law.https://dailycaller.com/2019/05/13/americans-socialist-poll/ …

I dunno. If Biden does win the nomination, then it will be very interesting how well he does in terms of Dem voters who consider themselves "progressive" like young voters. If they don't turn out much at all, he will lose in a landslide.

I submit that Chait is trying to make a reality, rather that reflect upon it.

Excuse me, but multiple "friends" excommunicated me for my pol views, views that were benign before 2015. Really not sure how you can say with a straight face the Dems as a whole party haven't been overtaken by radicals.

And that perception likely won't go away, either, because the far left makes enough noise on social media to seem larger than they are and Republicans will never let go of a rallying cry as easy as pointing at AOC and saying "this is who the Dems are and this is what they want."
