I do think some of the goofy San Francisco "shoplifting-enforcement-is-racism" progressives are a problem, but they come nowhere close to a majority of Democrats.

With how popular higher wages, paid family leave, health care for all, and affordable college are, it's actually suicide for Dems to "move to the center" on economics.
