    Hilarious to me how the left echo chambers (in which I often participate) missed the takeaway from the election and somehow say (as they do with every election over the past couple decades) that this time the Dems moved to the right and that’s why they lost.

    If the Dems really kept shifting so much to the right each cycle, how do you explain the past 4 years?

      Hilarious to me that people who think Democrats moving left would have won this election when the root issue of voter ignorance reigns supreme and Republicans and extremely wealthy control the narrative via the news media still continues. And don’t get me wrong, I want Free Healthcare, Universe Basic Income, and even a Wage Cap, but I am still unconvinced these things would have been viewed positively enough to sway voters with the 2 afformentioned issues still persisting.

      Oh, let me guess. You’re going to feed me the same “BiDeN iS tHe MoSt PrOgReSsIvE pReSiDeNt EvEr” crap. Lie to someone else.
