These Democrats that leaving, are they the far left ones or are they the moderate Democrats?

They're Conservative Democrats. Jeff Van Drew and John Lee are further to the right than Murkowski, Collins etc.

People forget that Conservative Democrat and Liberal Republican even used to be a thing. Those words haven't been used together since the balkanization plan began during 0bama's first campaign.

This is likely part of the establishments initial push to purge the new radicals. They know the actual party is in trouble, they know it's fractured, and they know they can't actually let the new bloods get any real power.

That, or it's the push to take over the republican party in full and purge the Trumplicans. Probably a little of both.

The Obama radicals have done everything in their power to alienate the old guard Democrats. They've gotten away with it because they can just import a new base of voters by the millions.

The radicals are just useful idiots. 0bama's actual power is in the establishment dems. They need to purge the radicals now that their usefulness is ending. Though the establishment were always "radical" compared to what they pretended to be.
