Do tell us any significant policy differences between any of the democratic presidential candidates and between any of their members of Congress. Tell about the big changes in the party's direction that all those fresh new moderates elected in 2018 have engineered. You really want to compare your entire fricking party to one message board?


What? There are profound differences between the ideologies of the candidates this year alone, and much more between the candidates and every single Democratic member of Congress. You're a joke if you think the entire party literally is in lock step and total agreement.

If a concerted move away from the center is something you perceive in Democrats, don't act like it hasn't happened equally in Republicans.

Using the median democrat as the barometer to judge the shift in Republicans is not a very good method. The median democrat has moved so far to the left that a Republican standing still would appear to make a substantial shift to the right.

Using another graph from the Pew Research Center, you can easily tell the shifts for both democrats and Republicans are not even close to being equal.
