Will the Democrats split their party over Leftist ideals?

Tilting toward Socialism is not the way to win elections

A bit more on the Democratic shift to the Left.

Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen says in part in his article: "I don’t quite know what a handbasket is, but the Democratic Party is in one headed toward electoral hell with its talk of socialism and reparations."
Neither the columnist or the paper is a friend of the Republican Party. (see: https://tinyurl.com/y53rs96j)
Just in the last ten days 2020 candidates (15 so far) have come out with far left positions such as the Green New Deal costing 93 trillion dollars over 10 years, Late term abortions for infants already out of the womb, and former prosecutor Kamala Harris' latest position that sex work should be de-criminalized for prostitutes.
I don't think it can be any clearer, the Democrat Party candidates have taken a hard turn to the Left and seems bent on self destruction.
A Trump re-election looms for 2020 with VP Pence likely to take the following 2 elections (2024 - 2028), leaving the Democratic Party wandering in the wilderness until the 2032 elections or perhaps even longer.
