    Our Overton window is rammed so far right in America Bernie Sanders here is considered a radically dangerous communist, but in any other country he’s a slightly left democratic socialist.

    It’s dangerous to our discourse and continually shifts sentiment further and further right beyond all sanity.

      US politics have moved so far to the right that I’m pretty sure contemporary moderate Democrats are nearly interchangeable with Reagan-era Republicans.

        That’s the first time I’ve seen that comparison but FUCK are you 100% right…

        I hate to admit it but if the repugnicunts had put up a sane pre-reagan quality era candidate, I wouldn’t have voted for Biden.
