Alicia Nieves: Why the Democratic Party Can't Moderate

link

I've predicted for about a decade that the Dems would soon move back toward the center...so I've been wrong for about a decade.

   I don't know whether Nieves is right about why it doesn't/can't...but unless it does, I continue to think we're screwed. The more radical the Dems are, the worse candidates the Republicans can run--and people like me will just have to suck it up and vote for them. The bad Pubs, that is. Or, worse, the Dems will actually win...as recently in VA...and then that state...or the entire country...is really screwed...

   I mean, honestly, I don't see any signs of moderation on the horizon. I've just generally thought that there'd at least be some kind of regression to the mean.
