@davecatanese @SteveSchmidtSES Not all the #nevertrumpers are on board. @GovCTW: “It’s not so easy to make those blanket statements that everybody should be defeated.

@Nrgill1 maybe. though I think a good test case for how the Democratic Party (and maybe the country as a whole) has changed post-Trump would be looking at the response to Ferguson and Sandy Hook, and then compare it to the response to George Floyd and Parkland. I see big differences. — PolitiTweet.org

@Nrgill1 who do still see compromise as an essential part of the legislative process (I know because I spent a winter talking to them in line at these candidate events during the primary). They might still play a critical role of moderation within the party ... — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@Nrgill1 there's a lot of room to debate just how much they've moved, and how much survives the contact of actually passing legislation and facing the inevitable political backlash. I will say, to your point, there remains in the party a significant chunk of voters/officials ... — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@Nrgill1 the wide body politic has also moved left on, and that's clearly informing what the D Party does. these changes also aren't entirely confined to a post-Trump era ... ... but it has accelerated them, IMHO. And I think you see that in your average Dem as much as you do in AOC — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@Nrgill1 again, Biden himself represents what is likely the rightmost position a modern Democrat can hold -- and even his stated agenda is well to the left of what Hillary proposed. And I'm not even talking about his flip on something like the Hyde Amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@Nrgill1 but I don't agree that the left's change is simply about AOC's emergency and Bernie winning a few primary votes. the center of gravity in the party has moved left. were Dems talking openly about taking on police unions back then? were they so unreservedly pro gun control? — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@Nrgill1 is the transformation greater on the right? i guess, probably. there's no trump anomaly that's emerged on the Left at that scale. the breadth and severity of primary challenges was also greater most of last decade, though as you point out, Dems have seen some of it lately — PolitiTweet.org

@Nrgill1 a forceful unanimity on nearly every cultural issue? seriously considering single payer health care while eagerly adopting proposals like a $15 minimum wage? a far more confrontational approach with the GOP and far less apprehension around being seen as a lefty? — PolitiTweet.org
