John F. Kennedy’s Democratic Party is Officially Dead

Your father's Democratic Party is dead.

While this doesn't come as a shock, the reality is that only one moderate Democrat still resides in all of Congress — West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin — according to the latest ratings from the American Conservative Union (ACU).

Democrats who call themselves “normal,” like Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania and Abigail Spanberger of Virginia, need to recognize the new political paradigm.

Fox News' Deroy Murdock explains:

When these allegedly moderate Democrats call themselves “normal,” this suggests that those further Left are abnormal. How insulting! The Squad should demand an immediate apology. Indeed, they are the Democrats' new normal.

The American Conservative Union's recently modernized website makes it a snap to review senators' and House members' votes clear back to 1972. Running from 0 for most liberal to most conservative at 100, the ideological spectrum cleaves into thirds: Left (0 to 33 ACU ratings), middle (34 to 66), and Right (67 to 100). Moderate Democrats should inhabit this center slice.

And yet you'll have a hard time finding a single one. Nor should that be a surprise. For the better part of a century, radicalism hasn't been condemned by Democrats. In contrast, Republicans denounce their own “extremes” regularly in pursuit of respectability.

As a result, the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) became the left, College Democrats became moderates and we became the “far-right.” As established rhetoric, the phrase far-left extremist has been removed from our vernacular.

In the U.S. House of Representatives, the New Democrat Coalition styles itself as the natural home of centrist Democrats, much as the Freedom Caucus is the see-and-be-seen scene for stalwart conservative Republicans. “New Democrats are a solutions-oriented coalition seeking to bridge the gap between left and right by challenging outmoded partisan approaches to governing,” NDC's website declares.

However, you probably didn't know that the NDC's Chairwoman, Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) has an abysmal 3.48 ACU rating — putting DelBene two points to the left of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The group's vice chair Ami Bera (D-Calif.) is 0.15 percentage points to the right of AOC. While self-described “centrist” Whip Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) has the same rating as the Squad's most famous member.
