One of the least talked about aspects of our political landscape over the last 5 years is the Democrats’ drastic move left.
Every topic moved left: immigration, abortion, healthcare, welfare, etc.
The graph from the New York Times below proves this drastic shift. #DebateNight

Let’s take a deeper dive into this drastic shift. First, immigration:
Obama in 2007: "It has become an extraordinary problem... [Americans] are seeing their own economic position slip away."
Today, Dems want to decriminalize border crossings.

On abortion: In 2010, Obama signed an executive order preserving the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer money to fund abortions.
Most democrats in today’s field are vehemently calling for the appeal of the Hyde Amendment.

Let’s not forgot the barbaric new abortion laws/bills in NY, RI, VA, VT, and IL.
They legalize abortion up to the moment of birth. Sure, some of them say for health reasons... health is not defined in any of the bills. This is abortion on demand til birth

There are endless examples of how extreme the left got with our everyday culture. Here’s one example:
Beto on the Betsy Ross flag: "its really important to take into account the impression that kind of symbol would have for many of our fellow Americans.”
Obama’s Inauguration:

More immigration. Obama’s DHS Secretary on multiple Dem presidential candidates wanting to decriminalize illegal border crossings:
“If we had such a policy, instead of 100,000 apprehensions a month, it would be multiples of that.”
“If we had such a policy, instead of 100,000 apprehensions a month, it would be multiples of that.”
With many of the white Democrat candidates pandering to African American voters with calls for slavery reparations, let’s see what Obama’s stance was on the topic.
Unsurprisingly, yet another topic Dems have moved to an extreme left on.

On asylum: Congressional Democrats are sending lawyers to detention facilities and over the boarder to coach migrants on how to gain asylum.
In 2014, Obama had a slightly different message for asylum seekers.

What a trifecta from the new Democrat party: taxpayer funded abortion for illegals. This would have been an @TheOnion headline 2 years ago.

On minimum wage: in 2015, Obama and HRC spoke out against #FightFor15. They correctly noted that a $15 minimum wage would cripple much of the country where the cost of living is lower than coastal NYC and LA.
This month, House Dems passed a $15 min wage. washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…

On the border: Obama approved both updated and new construction of border fencing during his presidency.
Many dem presidential candidates have gone as far as saying they will tear down the entire border. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

What about the views of the dem voters? Almost 40% say they align with the 2 furthest left candidates, one of them being a self-proclaimed socialist.
Only 16% say their views align with the VP of the most popular dem president since JFK.

Liberals moved so radically left in 3 short years they are openly attacking Obama’s record on the debate stage.
This is a whole new level of incompetency. They really want 4 more years of Trump. #DemDebate

On guns: Democrats have been flirting with a full scale gun prohibition for years. Beto finally openly endorses it, with a mandatory gun buy-back program.
On private sectors in America: 2 of the 3 top Dem candidates, Warren and Bernie, have proposed plans for government control of just about every private sector.
That isn’t even called socialism. That’s communism. Disgraceful.

It’s no longer taboo for liberals to openly highlight how far left the Democrat party has moved in such a short time.
This is a major problem for the party and the country that every sensical liberal should be aggressively pushing back on.

On socialism: Democrats are openly calling themselves some form of socialists now. At least they tried to hide it in the past.
More on guns: Beto continues to aggressively calling for a mandatory gun buyback program.
On abortion: multiple Dems have called for full access to abortions for any reason til birth.
In 2008, Obama not only opposed 3rd trimester abortion, but also opposed mental distress as an excuse for getting an abortion. 2008 Obama does not fit in today’s radical Democrat party.

More on guns: even CNN is highlighting how extreme the Democrat Party has gotten on guns in a very short time period. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/09/12…
On cancel culture: Obama calls for civility and the end of tribal, cancel culture politics.
The NYT opinion section puts out a “progressive” piece calling him a boomer. Once again, 2008/2012 Obama would not win the radical 2020 dem primary.
