Far from it, as much as Trumpistan wants the entire dem party painted as “socialist” (none of the dems are socialist, although too many insist on calling themselves that, so can’t blame repubs for taking advantage). One dem who in some ways has more in common with non-Trumpie repubs (which means likely to soon be former repubs) is controlling the entire dialogue over the spending bills.

Dealing with the dems is like an exercise in cat herding, and the left end of the party loses more often than it wins IMO. The repub party has become a cult of a personality who wants all institutions that stand between him and power destroyed - meaning all the checks and balances against people like him. He is a clear and present danger to the Constitution, and the repub party bends at the knee to him. Or gets cancelled.
