And there is zero indication the “good” party will ever voluntarily give up their place as the only sane option.

How would they go about "giving up their place as the only sane option"? By acting crazy so there is no sane option? Or by asking the other party to stop being insane? They are constantly asking them to not be insane, constantly asking them to vote on bipartisan bills. It's just the insane party doesn't want to stop being insane. They're crazy like that.

give up their place as the only sane option.

If you're having difficulty, try removing some adjectives and see if it's easier to understand:

give up their place as the only ~~sane~~ option.

If they're the only option besides republicans, they have zero standards besides not being that bad

So they can run candidates more conservative than dem.viters want, and when voters ask for more instead of opening a dialogue, they can just scream and holler about how not voting D means you want R.

They'll never give that up for a system where voters get a say.

Makes sense now?
