Consider the Green New Deal, now co-sponsored in the Senate by Warren, Harris, Cory Booker (N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.) and Amy Klobuchar (Minn.). They’ve committed to “guaranteeing a job,” higher education and paid vacations “to all people of the United States.”

Or take Medicare-for-all, promoted by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and others. It gets 56 percent support in the Kaiser Family Foundation poll, but that drops to 37 percent when private health insurance is eliminated or people are required to pay more in taxes, and 26 percent if it means delayed tests and treatments.

The purity tests are promoted by groups such as Progressive Change Campaign Committee (Medicare-for-all), Indivisible (filibuster), Sunrise Movement (Green New Deal), National Popular Vote (electoral college), MoveOn (boycotting AIPAC) and Demand Justice (judicial picks) — and furthered by charismatic progressives such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.). The press takes it from there.
