The more moderate administrations end up compromising to something that is basically conservative. Maybe a further left administration compromises to something that is moderate?
I don't really know anymore. The last few years have changed what I thought I knew about how this all worked. We saw candidates, for years and years, typically move to the center after getting their party's nomination. Which made sense, they were competing for the middle. Now, it seems like they're just competing for turnout. I don't share a lot of political views with some of the further left candidates, but, I wouldn't mind seeing one of them get the nomination.
