It's a two-party system. If they move toward the middle, the whole thing shifts right. It's very precisely adapted to mitigate any kind of meaningful, moderate, centrist position. If, instead, we're talking about comparing the US system to that of other countries, the idea that the Democrats are leftists is hilariously misinformed.
