When you let a single party have complete control for too long, they start to veer into intra-party conflicts and races to the extremes. With no opposition party to keep them in check, the wing becomes the opposition. That's why single-party rule is bad.
Nowhere is this more evident than Seattle, where the "Democratic Party" is almost unrecognizable. AOC would be right-wing here.
What's needed is a responsible, mature, sane Republican Party to act as a respectable opposition party to the Democrats. Unfortunately, that party doesn't exist. Instead we have the Republican Party of Trump and, before him, Rush Limbaugh and right-wing talk radio, and Jerry Falwell and the religious right, who dominated the party during the Clinton and W years.
