The Dems far-left agenda is just starting and the worst is yet to come

To most Americans, the big problem with the Democratic Party is that it has moved too far left in recent years.If you’re among those who believe that, brace yourself. The worst is yet to come.A serious push is underway to move the party even further away from the political center, embrace economic plans close to pure socialism and launch radical woke culture battles. It sounds like a bad joke, but it’s really happening.

And it’s a movement that goes beyond the socialist fever dreams of Sen.Bernie Sanders and Rep.

Alexandria ­Ocasio-Cortez.Although some of the push is a reaction to Donald Trump’s election in November and his embrace of America First policies, the fury reflects more than just Trump Derangement Syndrome.Consider the lead sentence in a recent fundraising email. “Democratic voters want a more progressive party,” began a pitch from a far-left group called Justice Democrats.To my surprise, a legitimate national poll supports the claim, and others hint at the same trend.Survey USA, in a poll taken earlier this month, found that 50% of Dems said they want the party to “become more progressive,” 24% said it should “stay the same” and just 18% said “become more ­moderate.”I’ve been trying to wrap my head around the findings, but can only wonder how much further left Dems can go before they fall off the face of the Earth.Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and their angry fellow travelers apparently aim to find out. Their big, boisterous rallies are all about tearing down what Sanders calls “ubercapitalism,” but history and current events show that socialism always adds to human misery.  Subscribe to our daily Post Opinion newsletter!
