    it’s in the nature of political parties to get more extreme/partisan over time.

      I’d recommend that you take a look at how other democracies do it. Especially the economically and socially successful countries in Europe. The US can learn a lot. But to one side of the aisle that’s “radical socialism.”

        Europe has been a hotbed of radicalism for centuries, it really only calmed down after germany went crazy and was forcibly silenced ~80 years ago

      Democrats aren’t really extreme in any way… If anything, we need them to go as crazy to the left as Republicans have in their direction. Instead, they just let Republicans drag conversation ever rightward

        there’s plenty of things that many see as extremism in the Democratic platform.

          The Democratic platform is not actually a thing that the party uses or strives to achieve.

          Also, just because “many” think something is extreme doesn’t make it so.

          What “extreme” legislation has the party worked hard to enact since 2010?
