And yet another article from the Washington Post decrying the march of the left. But now centrists, Tom Souzzi and Josh Gottheimer have come up with an answer-a manifesto promising to adhere to the core republican values of capitalism, law enforcement and fiscal responsibility to counter Democratic Socialists embracing M4ALL and affordable housing. Raise your hand if you'll vote for capitalism and law enforcement that has brought rising prices and thousands of illegal ICE detentions.

"Democrats Are in a Civil War—and the Far Left Is Gaining Ground Centrists have been ‘wringing our hands’ are scrambling to beat back insurgents In Colorado, allies of longtime Rep. Diana DeGette are pouring money into a late round of ads to help defeat a Democratic socialist in next week’s primary election. In Los Angeles, Democratic Mayor Karen Bass shook up her campaign team this week in her tough re-election bid against a Democratic socialist challenger. And in Michigan’s race for a U.S. Senate seat, Democrats have discussed consolidating the primary field in hopes of beating Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive populist candidate whom party-establishment figures see as a risky bet in the general election. The party’s centrists are alarmed. “The left, the DSA, and the right, the MAGA movement, they’re both very well organized, and those of us that oppose those policies are talking to each other at cocktail parties and wringing our hands,” said Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Long Island Democrat. “But we got to get organized.” “I agree that people’s economic anxiety is real, and we have to address it—I just happen to disagree with their solutions,” Suozzi said.

In the aftermath of the New York races, 10 House Democrats including Suozzi signed a centrist pledge of “bringing common sense back to the Democratic Party” by committing to fiscal discipline and capitalism over socialism. Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey Democrat who signed the pledge, said the left was “using Tea Party tactics and trying to divide up the country and pray to socialist ideals.”
