Democrats today are more likely to say they want their party to become moderate than they were four years ago, according to a Gallup poll published Thursday. The survey, conducted in the first week of President Trump’s second term, gauged partisan preferences on the ideological direction of respondents’ respective parties. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 45 percent say they want their party to become more moderate, while 29 percent say they want the party to become more liberal, and 22 percent say they want the party to stay the same.

    Honestly, I don’t think that’s possible. At least not for the USA as a whole. If we want that sort of drastic change the US will need to dissolve into several smaller countries.

      US will need to dissolve into several smaller countries.

      I don’t think that’s entirely impossible, as it is now, the country is being torn apart by disagreement even hatred between blue and red states.

      Compared to how EU works with a more democratic model, there’s a better balance between the countries, and veto right makes it so no EU country is pressured into anything, without having influence.
