    I hope you’re right, but in practical results it doesn’t seem like much has changed. Personally I’ll be pushing for 3rd parties now until we get closer to the next election.

    I won’t be the same type of obstinate person that sticks with a party with 0% chance as opposed to a worse party with a 40% chance, but I’d much rather they go the way of the dinosaur.

      In practice, those rules made it easier to have centrist primary challenges to Democrats in congress, rather than left-wing ones.

      The big thing we need to change is the media environment. Much of the US is a news desert, so people are depending on things like YouTube shorts and Xitter for their news.
