    Yes, they have. They’ve moved both parties to the right on economic issues because a lot of the country either chooses not to vote or votes this party (which is like choosing not to vote, but with more ways resources), giving the GOP victories it shouldn’t have and teaching the Dems they aren’t conservative enough.

      The democrats move right because they want to win those voters. I wonder what might make them move left…

        Clearly not voting third party because it’s never fucking worked.

        If you really want to change the Dems, vote Dem in the primaries and get involved in the party at the local level. It’s shockingly easy to make real change at the local level where 50 people show up for an election.
