DNC Attacks Far-Left Democrats for Election Losses, Does Not Want to Be ‘Freak Show’ Party

The establishment wing of the Democrat party is trying to prevent the radical left from controlling the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after Republicans reclaimed the Senate, White House, and maintained control of the House.

The infighting underscores the lack of leadership among Democrat ranks. The bruising turmoil has reached such a pitch that Democrats have begun to summon enough courage to leak negative comments about Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the once-championed leader of the party.

Democrats will have to elect a new DNC chair in the coming weeks, but that process would appear to demand a consensus on why Trump won in a landslide. A unified consensus does not appear in sight.

Establishment Democrats want their radical left allies to stop pushing the intersectional politics of wokeism, but many on the far left doubled down. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), for example, believes Democrats lost big because Hispanic and black voters are misogynists.

“The progressive wing of the party has to recognize — we all have to recognize — the country’s not progressive, and not to the far left or the far right. They’re in the middle,” Joseph Paolino Jr., DNC committeeman for Rhode Island, told Politico. “I’m going to look for a chair who’s going to be talking to the center and who’s going to be for the guy who drives a truck back home at the end of the day.” (Read more from “DNC Attacks Far-Left Democrats for Election Losses, Does Not Want to Be ‘Freak Show’ Party” HERE)
