Should the Democrats embrace Antifa or distance themselves from it?

Asked by Demosthenes (14927points) January 21st, 2021

From one perspective, the Democrats have already embraced Antifa, downplaying their violence and pushing the narrative of the “mostly peaceful” protests. Yet overnight there were violent anti-Biden protests in Portland and other cities. It’s clear that Antifa and other far-leftists do not support the Democratic establishment. Should the Democrats try to cater to them more or should they distance themselves from them? Will becoming more left-wing help Democrats or help Republicans (by pushing people away from the Democrats)?
