I'm a moderate hero and I am willing to say that in the present situation, the Democrats do not have a problem with pandering to the fringe, refusing to compromise, and going ideologically off the rails. The Republicans most certainly do have that problem.
The situation was somewhat reversed in the '80s. The GOP was the Big Tent party and the Democrats wanted to put their hands over their ears and scream and pretend it was 1935 and everyone was a New Deal liberal. Now the Republicans want to pretend it's 1890 and consider virtually any program enacted in the 20th century to be an abomination (some of them don't even want people to elect their own senators anymore).
