So should we say, because of Sanders becoming the face of the party, that Democrats are becoming the face of the extreme left? No, just like we shouldn't say the opposite.
And it's Alabama. Running someone like Moore against someone like Phil Scott in Vermont isn't going to work.
Bernie is intellectually ideological and that's fine and many may disagree but his ideology is rooted in an intellectually consistent belief in things like social democracy. I disagree with him on several things and I supported Hillary in 2016. But there are essentially 0 Democrats who have an insidious, toxic mere presence in the vein of Trump or Moore. The whole embrace of Trump as the conservative populist savior is intellectually inconsistent and dishonest. It's breathtaking.
Coraxion, genocide deniers The Young Turks, Antifa, and Occupy Wall Street might want to talk to you. Come on - Pramila Jayapal, Ben Jealous, Kshama Sawant, David Zuckerman... A lot of very left wing people are beginning to gain popularity. The Democrats almost elected Keith Ellison as their DNC Chair.
So your examples are...
A non-name guy who trolled this board and got banned.
Some dipsh!ts who have a podcast who shilled for Trump last year and now moan about how Russia is so innocent have a huge alt-right following on Twitter.
A very loosely organized "group" that consists of mostly anarchists and communists, not Democrats.
An effectively extinct social movement from five years ago.
And then you cite a backbencher Congresswoman, a venture capitalist, a member of a Trotskyist party
who is not a Democrat and...the Lt. Governor of Vermont. Yeah as noted that's a pretty powerful and notable batch in comparison to Donald Trump.
