The "lesser evil" won in 2020. We didn't move back to the left.

Are there more examples of this happening? One event isn't a very good sample size... "IT DIDN'T WORK GUYS, SEE?!", I mean, sure... But there are more circumstances and variables and conditions to an election lol.

How many times do you want to move to the right and not back to the left? How many more times will it take to satisfy you?

I mean, as long as it's a stable ratio, the whole concept in this post falls apart. What are the statistics on left/right leaning presidents throughout history?

Does the rightward shift that has resulted in the "good" party supporting genocide indicate stability to you?

Pray tell, how is strengthening unions & workers rights, forgiving student loans, not 'left'? SMH

Strikebreaking and photo ops didn't strengthen shit.

forgiving student loans

Was the only bright spot in his presidency.

Now how was supporting a genocide "left?" I mean, it may be to your left. Maybe you want active participation?

Pray tell, how is genocidal fascism "left"? SMH
