Voting for a further left party than the Democrats will cause the Democrats to wise up to what their traditional base wants.

Maybe after like a decade, after losing a few presidencies in a row.

But we don't have time for that. The Republicans plan to effectively end democracy if they win the House.

First Past the Post is the unfortunate reality, and yes it's fucking us hard.

This is always what Democrats say.

Um, ok.

Is there an aspect that you think is untrue?

"We don't have time for that" is what they always say to stop us voting for another party or something demanding am more progressive candidate in the general election.

The party just continues to move rightward

Yes. But have you seen the Republicans

You proved my point.. It's "vote for us because they're even worse"

Which is true.

So I don't really understand your point I guess.
