    Both parties have been moving steadily to the right for the last 40 years. So now, the Democrats are where the Republicans were in the 1980s: boring corporatists and friends of banks, pharmaceutical and insurance companies.

    And the Republicans have moved all the way into an insane asylum.

    I’m holding that saw and waiting while the fascist right continues to boil itself to death. It’s a question of whether we boil with it or not.

    The Dems are a center right party and we’re stuck with a (mostly) two party system because of our First Past the Post voting system. That means I vote for the one of two choices closest to me, so Dems it is in the general election.

    Give me a Ranked Choice Vote and Dems move to my #2 slot under an actual progressive party candidate.
