The right wing media is trying to portray the left as an out of control group of "radical extremists". They try to equate any new program that benefits the general public as "socialist" and then rant about how socialism fails everywhere every time.
Meanwhile the young firebrands on the left are saying that the old fogies like Biden need to get out of the way because they need "radical new ideas" in order to succeed.
During Trumps campaign he was proud to be labeled a "radical" because it was a sign that he was not a part of the "deep state", and he was going to "drain the swamp". All he has done is pander to business and the wealthy, but the right seems to be making a radical move on social issues like abortion.
So what needs to happen? Does the right need to find a candidate that is more conventional that the "radical" Trump? Or do they need to make an even more radical move toward a Christian theocracy? Does the left need to find a more "radical" candidate that Biden, or do they need to move toward the middle.
Despite what the news networks want you to believe I think there are still a large number of people in "the middle". Not everyone has moved to an extreme position.
