Barack Obama warns against the progressive line from Bernie Sanders and Eliazabeth Warren…
Now we have two NEW moderate centrists Deval Patrick and Mike Bloomberg joining Joe Biden , Pete Buttigieg and other Democrats….
All these moderates have been throwing heavy against big ticket changes proposed by Sanders and Warren that would cost in the trillions….
The civil war within the party has been going on since the last general election….
While the progressives keep pushing and have the media on their side?
In the end?
Democratic moderate voters have picked the nominee up to now….
After spending months in anxious passivity, staking their hopes on Joseph R. Biden Jr. and little else, moderate Democrats appear suddenly determined to fight for control of their party in the 2020 elections.
The shift in attitude has come in fits and starts over the last few weeks, seemingly more as an organic turn in the political season than as a product of coordinated action by party leaders. But each assertive act has seemed to build on the one before, starting with a debate-stage clash last month over “Medicare for all” and culminating in recent days with the entry of two new moderate candidates into the primary, Michael R. Bloomberg and Deval Patrick, and a gentle warning from former President Barack Obama that Democrats should not overestimate voters’ appetite for drastic change.
