I'm just very confused by this topic because it seems like you are lumping "modern liberalism" and the Democratic party together. I don't think that's the case at all; the Democratic party is one of the more conservative sections of liberalism in the US. The type of extremists you're talking about are people who are also upset with the Democratic party, but for different reasons: it's too corporate and corrupt, and their constant attempts to compromise lose them elections (like picking Hillary over Bernie, and Hillary's subsequent flip-flopping). I don't agree with every extreme left view, but I do agree with them that the Dems are lame losers.

This is so wrong and really attempts to simply gloss over the truth in what OP laid out.
The Democrat party has become so hard left that it is simply unrecognizable from the party of JFK.
Its platform is, if I had to sum it up, the advocation of blindly turning over all aspects of our lives to government. The Democrat party has been shaped to believe that every problem we face can and should be fixed by government.
Their politics have become vitriolic, and rage-filled. Based purely on raw emotion, and zero principle. They advocate for suppressing and silencing their opponent's speech, because they're incapable of defending and articulating their ideals in the arena of debate. That's because they know that much of what they stand for is utterly reprehensible to the average American.

And before anyone busts out their Jump To Conclusions Mat, the Republican party has plenty of problems of its own too.
