The Democratic Party has moved too far to the left.

Wanting clean air and health care and better wages?

Where is the "center" now?  So far to the right that anything left of it looks "too far"?

I think Medicare for All and the Green New Deal are the main things.

Americans are not used to reasonable health care, so I imagine being offered it triggers a "if it seems too good to be true, it is" reaction.

That is what I've gathered from my parents and parents in law, who want health care to improve but do not want to dismantle the current system (the one with private insurers whose only purpose has transformed into skimming money off the top of each time you go to the doctor).
