    because the republican party is relatively united in thought and desire and via who is paying them all off.

    The democratic party is more akin to 35 parties in a trenchcoat all pretending to be one party, thanks entirely to the forced nature of the two party system our government has.

    And a lot of those in seats of power in the DNC and Democratic Party have the same masters/paylords as the Republicans and want the Democratic party to be nothing more than controlled opposition.

    Firebrands like AOC and Bernie tend to get elected by accident, instead of by purpose, in the grand scheme.

      I totally get that your two-party system is a massive detriment. Peter Magyar kind of ran on the idea to reform the political system of Hungary to make it more democratic - he focused on that rather than other policies. If first-past-the-post is the problem, then that’s what you should address.
