Certainly you can provide current examples in regards to validating your claim:

The Democratic Party also includes conservatives and centrists who do not answer that call.

Otherwise, it's simply a hollow, unfounded, angry swipe at the Democratic Party and its very progressive accomplishments, and current elected officials.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
