    They have followed the overton window

    They moved the Overton window…

    Why do you think progressive policy polls so high across both parties but hasn’t even been a topic in the general?

    Or is this one of those “pills aren’t real, everyone’s halfway fascist!” Things?

    Like, are you just willfully ignoring polling or have a strong opinion despite no access to the actual quantifiable reality?

      nope its the voters. We have an extreme right party that is able to capture more than a third of the electorate as a solid base. they have went way right and even though the other party is closer to what theirs used to be than they are now they still go with what they are now. its the voters going right. republicans should not be able to be elected dog catcher with as extreme as they are now. The dem establishment is just moving with the populace. its funny to me that you think the dems are moving people right.

          That’s because they want Republicans to win. Their behavior during the entire last year is pretty fucking indicative of that
