Things Democrats Can Do Right Now Without Republican Help

I was just listening to a few things on social media about things happening in the political realm. It is very odd that Republicans have control over everything; and yet have the gall to say Democrats are the cause of their lack of ability to govern.  It’s you Republicans.  You are the problem of your own incompetence.

 However, the thought did come to me to me that there are things Democrats can work on even without the help of Republicans. Things Democrats can do all by themselves.

Democrats can work on how they conduct their primary elections

Democrats can work on how they treat progressives and others who they need votes from and maybe, be more of an ally than a backstabbing coworker.  If you  know you are going to need votes from people out side of the party, then act like it.  Stop chasing votes from MAGA and other Republican voters that you'll most likely never get; and recognize those who your supporters are.

Democrats can work on introducing the concept of Ranked Choice Voting

Instead of under cutting progressives or Democratic Socialists who, for some reason, want to still be in the Democrat Party, maybe consider implementing Rank Choice Voting.  That way you can clearly get a picture of what direction voters are going and everyone would hopefully have a fair opportunity to get elected.  You could see what voters want in a ranked order.

Democrats could work on having open primaries to include Progressives and Independents

It is past time that Democrats change the way they conduct their primary races.  We all know that they definitely need Independents and Progressives to win any election.  So it is time to open up the primary process across the board.  Allow Independents and Progressives to vote in primary elections in every state! No shenanigans, no favoring only democrat candidates that toe the company line and truly let the best person win!

Many Democrats don’t even want Republican Light candidates. So in the interest of serving the people, change the way you do business and politics.
