This is why I think that the democratic party will have to move to the left if they want to avoid another big party emerging there and "stealing" their votes. And they will, considering more and more lawmakers within the party are much more left-leaning than the average establishment democrat and need increasingly to be taken into account. That said, I think it will take until 2032 for a more leftist leader to gain enough sway amongst the general population and win the primaries against an establishment candidate that's well-liked. |
Yeah it will happen, but your right it will take awhile for the old guard to pass away and the young socialists to come into their own and dominate, even in 2024 if Biden doesn't move left enough he may not get that second term, the young socialist demographic is growing fast as the ideas appeal to the their sense of fairness and a better more sustainable future
When people talk of the "moderates" in US politics, they would be talking "Right wing" in other developed western countries, the "Democratic Socialists" in the Dems is closer to the center in other wealthy Western countries
