I see no evidence that they alter "extremism" in any way. Usually we end up with two Democrats competing for a seat that sometimes the more progressive and sometimes the less progressive candidate wins. (For example, if Schiff enters the senate race in 2024, the GE will come down to him vs. Katie Porter and it would put CA repubs in the very uncomfortable position of trying to keep Porter from becoming senator by voting for Schiff)
