With the Squad, the greenie lobby, the teachers' unions, and the open borders industrial complex calling the shots in the Democratic Party these days, it's obviously no picnic to be a moderate member of the Democrats in Congress.
Which is why 31 of them are leaving, most fully aware that a red wave is coming. But perhaps more importantly albeit less well known is that many of them angry at how the crazed Democrats have treated them.
Here's the latest exit, described by the Daily Caller:
...and...
Here is where the story gets really juicy:
We have noted the big presence of special interest groups, such as the green lobby, the illegals lobby, assorted crime and social justice warrior groups, and corporate enthusiasts, involved in the writing of legislation, which is bad enough. The humongous sizes of these bills is a perfect reflection of the scope of the problem, because nobody has time to read the bills before voting on them. And now, that appears to be by design.
But Murphy brings up a particularly ugly detail showing the depths to which this has been taken:
We know that these bills that have been passed are not popular with the public. We also know that the crazies seem to be running the show among the ruling Democrats. Now we see a new dimension to the scope of the problem, which is making life particularly miserable for moderates, whose game is to balance interests rather than grab cash and 'transform' the country.
Murphy has described a very interesting phenomenon explaining why moderate Democrats are so frustrated (Remember the Spanberger tape?) and why the Democrats have swung so far left. It's too bad we can't hear more from her, it may be that this affects Republicans in a parallel way, too, it certainly seemed to be what was happening during the Bush II years. President Trump undoubtedly upended much of it. But as it is, it explains why the Democrats can't find good people anymore, and why their party has swung so far left. They've basically sold their souls to lobbyists and activists. No wonder the big red wave seems so inevitable. Perhaps Murphy can find a political home on the redside, she ought to consider it.
Moderate Dem quits Congress in disgust, denouncing 'rainbows and unicorns'

These are mean characters. But perhaps even more noteworthy in Murphy's remarks, they pretty well negate the work of being a legislator, which includes reading bills and debating ideas, in favor of making Democrats into a Soviet-style or Venezuelan-style rubber stamp parliament, obedient to the party line or else.
Here is where the story gets really juicy:
Which is a helluva crappy way to treat legislators of any kind.

So the crazed leftists and money-grubbing lobbyists, who haven't even been elected to office, write the bills, then tell the Democrats to vote for them or else. They not only yank funds from campaigns, if moderates don't play ball and march in lockstep with them, they primary dissenters in order to get the puppets in place that will serve them:
This is incredibly ugly stuff. Who'd want to be a Democrat representative with that kind of garbage going on? They can't write the bills, they can't read the bills, and if they ask any questions, try to make changes, or balk in any other way, they get primaried. The only thing they are allowed to do is vote 'yes' on any crazed crap the Squad and its radical leftwing lobby allies put out. Defund the police? Go for it. Bankrupt Big Oil? Yep. Open borders? Totally.
