Democrats want their party back.
More Democrats Want a More Moderate Party, Poll Says
The Democrats went along with this radicalization because of Obama; they knew he could win and this was part of the price they were willing to pay (having been radicalized by endless media propaganda about Bush being Hitler) and then Nancy Pelosi moved the Party hard left and she won (thanks to the GOP being hapless.) But now they realize this isn't their party anymore and want it back.
Trump would have run as a Democrat had the party not moved in such a radical direction if he would have run at all.
They remember Bill Clinton and "triangulation" where Clinton set himself on the right wing of the Democrat Party and won elections. They want that again.
Most Democrats like government social welfare programs and free stuff, but they didn't sign up for marxism/socialism. That is a bridge too far. So was the transgender business. They know the difference between a man and a woman and are finding it icreasingly difficult to support a party that refuses to acknowledge any. They want their union jobs, their border secure, and things like toilets that flush or light bulbs that actually put out light. They just aren't getting that with today's Democrat Party.
So there is a push for moderation. The question is, can they wrest control of the party back from the lunatic fringe. If history is any guide it is very, very hard to take power away from committed radicals.
So expect a lot of Democrats to walk out and join the Trump revollution. Not sure how I feel about that; it gives us more politcal power but threatens to water down the movement. The "big tent" philosophy is what killed the Reagan revolution in the first place.

More Democrats Want a More Moderate Party, Poll Says
"Data from a new Gallup survey suggests that close to half of Democrats want their party to move more toward the middle, while more than 40% of Republicans are happy with their party.
Today, 45% of Democrats and left-leaning independents surveyed indicated they would prefer a more moderate Democratic Party, up 11% from 2021, according to Gallup. Meanwhile, the number of Republicans who want their party to stay the same – 43% – has similarly climbed over the same time by 9%. Those wanting a more conservative party declined by 12%..

I hope they don't get it! Let 'em wallow in the weeds for a few years! Lord knows they've done their level worst to put US there and keep us there.

I agree Dana; if they do get their party back they will start winning elections again and in the process kill the revolution we've begun. We've seen this time and time again as the American People want "normalcy" back and vote in Democrats. But the Democrats are not a new breed, just repackaging. Their goal remains socialism, whether anyone knows it or not.
They must be beaten and kept down.
