Over the course of 2019, divides within the Democrat Party have become more and more obvious. There stands the progressive wing of the party which generally favors more radical reforms. Then, there are moderates within the Democrat Party who are likelier to shy away from the talking points of their progressive counterparts.
The divide between progressive Democrats and moderate Democrats is responsible for left-wing infighting. Progressives largely maintain that moderates are too lukewarm and ill-prepared to take the Democrat Party in the proper direction. Moderates, on the other hand, tend to view progressives as extreme and alienating towards individuals who are not extremely far left.
Many Americans have expressed concerns that the Democrat Party is becoming the party of socialism due to the emergence of progressives. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy expressed this sentiment during his Thursday appearance on The Ingraham Angle.

The House Minority Leader maintains that socialism is becoming the new way of the Democrat Party. Presently, there are many progressive Democrats who are not only in the mainstream, but also advocating for policies which are arguably socialist.
