    The democratic party per se isn’t the problem.

    First past the post democracies always result in what we have now. The democratic party will completely disappear under proportional representation. In it’s place you will see a proliferation of the power that is being grimly clasped by the corporate kleptocracy and their minions. Instead of 1% deciding how we manage our society, everyone gets a say.

      The other problem is voters trying to hold on to the Democratic party because of FPTP.

      Which in turn makes the Democrats comfortable enough to run bad candidates.

      Which in turn makes Democrats lose the election because they did not have to run on good policy to compete with a more left party, only a more right party.
