Good thing I'm not an American then. If I would be an American "I'd be a vote blue no matter who" but also make sure I vote in any primaries I'm able to so I could vote "less corruption" and "left leaning".

As a European I see politics in the US being a choice between "Classic EU Conservative party" and "Far right populism + authoritarian" but then you manage somehow to get Mamdani, AOC, Gavin Newsom and Bernice which actually look decent. I like that, Trump shit is affecting Europe and shifting the overton window left instead of right would help I think.

Yeah even after seeing how the Republicans were pulled to the far right by a dedicated minority within the party, leftists in the US just scratch their heads about how to move the Democrats to the left. I dunno complain on social media and don't vote? That's sure to make a difference!

Meanwhile the right continues to vote Republican every election and the dedicated far right votes in the primaries to control the party.
