right, right, because USA hasn't moved so far right, center doesn't exist, and Democrats didn't hand-wring and capitulate at every opportunity. Meanwhile, the EU is certainly a shining example of democracy...🧐😮💨🤮
Democratic party platform is healthcare for all, removing money from politics, and taxing the rich. People like you seem to never be able to elaborate how the USA is further right, but that never stops you from repeating the lie.
You want the USA to stop moving to the right? Elect more than 48 DNC senators for the first time in over ten years.
MF we've pointed it out repeatedly! Nixon was to the economic left of Clinton, Obama or Biden, I've lived here for six decades, but do go on at telling me I'm wrong!
Platforms don't mean shit without codification and Dems conveniently excuse not doing any of it for 40 years, meanwhile GOP GET THINGS DONE. Not that they're good things but they deliver what they promise. Dems wear kente cloths and vote for Rep agendas.
ETA moreover, Nixon was environmentally left of Democrats since then, too.
The solution was to roll your sleeves up and pull the country back left but you were apparently too busy jerking yourself off over being above it all. You register in closed primaries, stump for progressives and primary incumbent and establishment dems that aren't progressive enough. You get grassroots support because these are wildly popular positions and always have been. But that's a lot more work than just wanking off to "both sides bad". Bit late for all that now though isn't it Maeve?
For the record the guy you're arguing with clearly doesn't understand what the terms he's using actually mean, but that doesn't give you an excuse to spout literal Russian propaganda points.
I voted and supported my candidate who damn sure didn't run on genocide and campaigning with Liz Cheney. That was the solution, not wanking off and voting to "move farther right just one more time bro, I promise this time it's going to work!" 🤡🌎
The candidate, I will add, whom Democrats sued to keep off ballots in swing states.
There it is. Congratulations, your principles and/or lack of understanding of how our federal system operates is responsible for Trump. Own it. You are the American that failed the open book test. I hope you get first have experience of everything you voted for.
Edit: wait holy shit did you vote green party? Did you vote for the actually literally a Russian spoiler party and wanna talk about Democrats? That's a choice alright.
🤡🤓
Eta: I'm not young enough to know it all, nor old enough to be entirely forgetful. I'm in between, where I know and remember how many candidates Dems sued to keep off the ballots, while doing genocide and other war crimes.
Nixon sold drugs to black communities, is recorded on tape ranting about jews, kept a war going for personal gain, etc.
He might have saved some trees and whales, but he wasn't left of jack shit. Here's him talking about the dangers of homosexuality:
Tell me you don't know the difference between "economically left" and "socially left" without telling me you don't know the difference.
Uh guyz, people are starving and homeless but it's fine if we arrest the homeless with rainbow zip ties! 🤓
Left means progress. There is no distinction between economically and socially left in the context of progress, you either lead to a better future for everyone or you don't.
