        We only have “centrists”. There’s no ‘left’ for them to work with. The democrats do everything they can to keep anyone remotely leftist from being elected within their party, and to maintain the political duopoly.

          This perspective really bugs me.

          The terms left and right are relative.

          It’s absolutely fine that the dems are not as far left as you would like, but they are still your left of center major party.

          The more elections they win, the more the whole spectrum moves to the left.

            That’s fine, but this comment thread is about centrists and the left working together to defeat the right. There is either no political left, or there is no political center. The democrats are already all united. It just isn’t really analogous to a parliamentary system.
