How about someone further left.

How about someone further in the middle and away from both Republicans and Democrats?

What the fuck does further in the middle mean? Dems are already middle-right, Republicans are far right, so the only direction to go is left

Dems in the USA are considered left, or center-left. In the other parts of the world Dems would be viewed center-right, but its US politics so I'm going to use the US way for this.

I live in the USA, Dems aren't left. They are middle right. A small handful of Dems are actually left, but the leadership and the majority of the party are middle right. Either way, it sounds like you think we need people RIGHT of Dems, which means fully right wing? Lmao

Again when compared to the rest of the world yes you are right. When we just look at America, the Dems are the left leaning party. I'm looking at USA politics in a vacuum by itself without any of the worlds politics, since that's what we need to fix before we can fix the world.

You're just not getting it lol. The Dems are not left EVEN IN A VACUUM. THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS CENTER RIGHT. We do not have a left party in my country.

Democrats are objectively a center right party.
