Go for it. Go left. As far left as you can go and then go some more.

The Democrats are eating themselves (the two dollar word for this is autophagy). From McClatchy News Service:

2020 Democrats keep shifting left. Moderates fret they’ll shift even further at next debate
Bob Buckhorn remembers sitting at home in Florida last month watching the first Democratic presidential debate — and openly worrying about what he was seeing.

The former centrist Democratic mayor of Tampa said the candidates were lurching much too far to the left on key policy issues, damaging the party’s chances of defeating President Donald Trump during next year’s election.

And the meat of it:

But centrist Democrats say the last debate was, even for a primary, unusually fixated on subjects that either didn’t interest or outright repelled voters in the middle of the political spectrum.

“I hope that in the next debate there’s more of a discussion about education and public safety and issues of the economy and those other issues that a lot of moderates are looking for,” said former Democratic Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska.

Even more alarming, they said, was the speed at which some once-fringe issues were widely adopted by the presidential field, like decriminalizing border crossings.

Bring it on. Get crazy. Stay out of touch. The current crop of Democratic Presidential Candidates are the best thing that has happened to President Trump's 2020 campaign.
