Its important to put into perspective that your Democratic party would be considered center-right where I live.
They’re not left wing by any means, and that’s exactly what you’re seeing now with Mamdami being shunned by his own fellow democrats.
Your dual party status quo is precisely designed to avoid having a true left wing. The existence of the Republicans forces you to vote for center-right candidates, meaning you never get the chance to develop truly left wing policies.
The party is freaking out over a candidate I would call center-left and nobody in my entire country would find abnormal in any election.
The democrats ARE the center right party. You don’t have anything to the left of that. Republicans aren’t “center right”.
