“How can they go farther to the left without becoming Communists? That will be a tough one to pull off without anyone noticing.”
I think it would be great if Sanders and/or Warren would form an ultra progressive party, maybe name it the Democratic Progressive Party or some such. Such a party would probably peel off somewhere around 3 to 5 percent of voters from the Dem’s which would ensure GOP victories much the same as the Libertarians have been doing to the GOP for years.

I think that the democrat progressive party could get Much More than 3 or 5% of democrats. Extreme Redistribution for a democrat is a much easier sell than the libertarian message ‘small government’ is for the republicans. Which of these democrat vote fraud loving constituents would turn down an opportunity to stick it to the rich by voting for the leftist communist chavez party. Properly Marketed, the democrat progressives could easily demagogue 15 o 20% away from the DNC Candidates.
I wholeheartedly then support the formation of a group to move the democrats farther to the left.
