The sad truth is that the Dem party doesn't really care about winning prez elections near as much as they care about stopping progressive candidates from ever becoming prez. The only thing that would ever really move the Dem Party to the left would be a progressive or socialist running third party or as an independent and getting 20% or more of the vote. That sort of thing was happening about a hundred years ago, when socialist candidates were getting tens of millions of votes in each prez election. That, and the Great Depression, is why FDR and the Dem Party moved way to the left in 1932, because they were afraid a socialist might become prez in that election or the next if FDR didn't pass socialist programs.

The Dem centrists either don't know the real history or choose to ignore it.

I just heard that Biden is promising to lower the age for Medicare by 5 years and to relieve some student debt.

That's good news but nothing close to far enough to get us onboard. If we except the crumbs that they offer us after screwing us during the primary each election cycle, the window continues to drift right, as this graphic demonstrates. Better to vote for the best candidate and demonstrate to the party that blind loyalty will not be given.

I do hope Biden is able to win because he will of course be the lesser evil, but I won't be part of it.

Where’d the left go?
Eh, pay no attention to the left. They’ll vote Blue no matter who.

So where’d the center go?
It’s over there next to the right.

Oh. So how do we go lefter instead of righter?
Stop voting for the lesser of two evils.

I THINK that the chart above and the inserted sentence here are honest, and I'd rather not have people tell me when I cannot say something that is honest. I will vote for Biden in absence of an honestly good candidate, but I do not consider having to do that a freedom or an example of democracy.

Ranked-choice voting would eliminate having to vote for the lesser evil, but the two major parties in the US would never allow it to happen in any widespread manner.

Which is why I will not be shamed by centrist Dems into voting Blue this fall. They need to finally give progressives a chance to win the White House with one of their own. We've only been waiting since 1972...
