Every political party, movement, or faction has its crazies, on that much we should all agree. Some are mostly made up of crazies. The goal is to make sure that your side doesn’t have as many crazies as the other, and that they’re kept at a long arm’s length from the levers of power in the party.
The modern Democratic Party has been mainstreaming its crazies for a quarter of a century now. Don’t be pedantic and try to pick some date from the 20th century, Y2K is a perfectly valid starting point for the purpose of this conversation.
In speeches and writing as far back as the early aughts, I kept saying that the Democrats were dragging their party so far leftward that its highly relative center was now somewhere left of Cuba. This is one of the huge reasons that I am not a fan of bipartisanship in Congress.

Nancy Pelosi had just solidified her place as one of the most powerful figures in the history of Congress by reclaiming the Speaker’s gavel after a period in the minority that would have ended the careers of most politicians. It was obvious from the get-go that AOC and Co. were going to be a problem for her.
There were a few attempts at putting the Squad in its place in the early going, but Squeaky’s perpetually open mouth eventually wore down the elders of the Democratic village. Now, according to many, she is the future of the party…
