So do Republicans, and there’s still about a 50-50 split between in terms of voting power. It appears the median American voter has been moving right, as horrifying as that thought is.
Biden is the most progressive US president in modern history. Maybe still not as progressive as you’d like, but nevertheless Democrats are slowly moving to the left, not right.
This is the thing with people who are too impatient for incremental progress. Progressives are, by definition, more progressive than the average. So when everyone else is not keeping pace with their ever-evolving standards they think those people are running backwards. And then they call for burning down the whole system because they want their cake now or else no one can have any ever.
They truly can’t see how far things have actually come. Anyone who says the Democrats keep moving further right has no idea what the 20th century was like.
The problem is, I’m almost 40 and have been hearing this my whole life. And the Democrats keep moving further right.
That’s not true at all. Quite the contrary in fact.

what is considered left is moving left much faster than the policy.
