      Or centre right, Biden was the closest they’ve been to centre right so they replaced him with a candidate further right

      (Yes you can point out random other centre right members but they haven’t had power in the party)

      When people on the left stop just circle-jerking on the Internet and actually get involved in their state and local Democratic parties, vote in the primaries and run for office.

      Probably after we switch from a First-past-the-post voting system to something more representative.

      Then people could vote outside the two party system without a spoiler effect.

      We can make these changes at the state level. Alaska recently voted to keep using Ranked Choice voting. Conservatives were mad because Ranked Choice voting allowed alaskans to choose a more moderate conservative over Sarah Palin and pushed to have a referendum to go back to FPTP voting.

      So why do Blue states use FPTP voting when it’s clear republicans prefer it?
