They should've got the message when Jasmine Crocket got booted, so much you can go on with this extreme left BS.
A trio of progressive Democrats backed by members of "The Squad" suffered blistering rebukes on Tuesday as Illinois voters rejected them in favor of more moderate candidates, prompting questions from onlookers about whether the party’s core, and momentum, should be entrusted to the far-left wing of its base.
To James Carville, a longtime Democratic strategist, the answer has been "no" for a long time. Talking to Fox News Digital in response to several progressive candidates losing in Tuesday's Democratic primary in deep blue Illinois, he questioned the narrative that Squad-aligned progressives are gaining momentum.
"What momentum? About 15% of the Democratic Party identifies themselves as progressive. And what's unique, they win about 15% in the primaries at most," Carville said. "This was something I've dealt with all my life."
"In New York, [Zohran] Mamdami got 50.5% — which is not overwhelming. That's hardly the basis for some national movement," Carville said, referring to the socialist mayor of New York City.
