The Democratic Party won't moderate their position. To give you an example, a famous weekly newsmagazine, called Newsweek, existed from 1933-2012. For decades it was well-read and very popular. Then, it started to go hard left. During the Obama presidency, it went farther and farther left, people stopped subscribing to it, companies stopped advertising it, and dust would grow on the latest issue as it said, unread, in magazine racks at stores. At one point its cover depicted Obama as a dancing god (seriously). Toward the end, the editorial board had a stark choice 1) moderate their content and produce a magazine people wanted to read or 2) stay the course and go out of business as a weekly newsmagazine. They chose option 2, and ceased to exist as a printed, weekly magazine. Newsweek was hemorrhaging money by this point. Given the choice of moderating their position and winning elections, or staying hard left and losing them, and fading away as a powerful political party, the Democrats will absolutely again choose option 2.

Lets hope so.

May they molder in the dark like the rotted corpse they are.
