Progressives Seek Control of Democrat Party

While one often sees major media stories of a so-called conservative fringe looking to take control of the Republican Party, progressive leftists looking to establish control of the Democrat Party tend to be either completely ignored or characterized far more favorably than their ideological counterpart on the right.
