If the rank and file democrats do not watch out, they will be headed down the same road as the republicans but for different reasons.
They have, slowly but surely, become a party of interest groups. The politicians in that party are having a hard time making everyone happy.
What the interest groups do not understand is that the party has power at this point in time. Even though some of their power comes from the “blue dogs” they still have it. If they try to force the “Blue Dogs” to vote against their districts they the party will lose their power.

The leaders and activists on the far left do not seem to understand this.
