It isn't ‘fringe left' hurting Democrats ‐ the fringe IS the Dems
[NYP] Democratic pundits, worried about the midterms and Joe Biden’s terrible approval ratings, are sounding the alarm: That dastardly "fringe" is hurting the party.

"This whole noisy, identity left" composing "15% of the party" has taken over (James Carville). "The Democrats have to step away from the super wokeness" (MSNBC host Donny Deutsch).

But what’s the distinction between super wokeness and ordinary wokeness when the party’s oldest and most mainstream members are all pushing ideas that would have seemed outlandish in the Obama era?

Biden offered a Fed nominee who said she wanted to deny credit to the fossil fuel companies that power America, and tried to put an actual Marxist in charge of the currency. Only 10% of the senators in the party spoke out against this.

The party’s new legal superstar, Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, can’t offer a definition of a woman because "I’m not a biologist"? Being moderately woke is like being moderately pregnant.

Democrats now view everything in terms of who’s being systematically oppressed. The reasonable view of racism is that there has always been racism in America. The woke translation is that America is defined by bigotry. From there you get to "I have no idea how to distinguish a woman" in about three intellectual moves.

#1 Come on, the Democrats are ruled by the corporate wing. They cast out the actual leftists with Bernie Sanders. Both sides hate each other.

#5 Ya know, if you came home from the movie and found the babysitter doing the stuff to your 6 year old that the Democrats want to do to them in a classroom or library, there would be arrests.
