Former Clinton advisor Mark Penn told Mark Levin on Life, Liberty & Levin that the modern Democratic Party is systematically silencing moderate voices and moving leftward in ways that ordinary Americans should find alarming. Penn’s frank assessment — delivered from inside the party establishment — is confirmation that this is not a rumor or partisan spin but an institutional problem.
Penn isn’t a fringe pundit; he’s a veteran pollster and former adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton who knows how parties think and how power is consolidated. When someone with that résumé warns that moderates are being pushed out, conservatives should listen and use it to expose the hypocrisy of a party that brags about “inclusion” while purging dissenting views.
He explained that the left wing — energized by groups like the DSA and changing the mechanics of primaries — now dominates who gets nominated, and ranked-choice tweaks and calendar changes are part of the scheme. That’s not modernization; it’s a rigged system designed to shut out voters who prefer common-sense, mainstream policies and to reward the loudest, most extreme activists.
Levin and Penn also pointed to the cultural and ideological shift inside the party: a drift toward policies and rhetoric that mirror socialism more than traditional American liberalism. This isn’t merely a difference of policy; it’s a fundamental reorientation that sidelines patriotism, free enterprise, and law and order — the very things that built this country.
The consequences are real: when moderates are muzzled, legislation becomes radicalized, compromise evaporates, and voters who once supported Democrats are left betrayed and voiceless. The media and the party elite play along, pretending the shouting radicals represent a healthy, vibrant movement rather than a power grab engineered from the top.
Hardworking Americans should take Penn’s warning as a call to action: demand accountability, expose the left’s takeover tactics, and support candidates who actually stand for individual liberty and economic opportunity. The only cure for a party that silences moderates is daylight, competition, and a conservative movement unwilling to be silent while the country is remade in the image of big government.
