At this point, I believe that if we just nudge the Overton window slightly more to the right, it will snap around to extreme left.

Looking from an European PoV, the politics in the US has always been a choice between "far right" and “extreme right”.

@airwhale @suzannealdrich @StarkRG

you could say the same about saudi arabia

you might also say that saudi arabia, to move further left, needs to iterate and sustain and inch it's way gradually left

to simply observe the saudi left is further right than the right in europe has no *functional* meaning. it's just looking at the globe and making comparisons that have no impact

well, the same is true of the usa. and it moves further right because the left just can't fucking be bothered to vote

@airwhale @suzannealdrich @StarkRG

functionally

your words are valid and true, but more of a structural observation than a functional prescription

to move the usa further left we have to vote, sustain, iterate

it's grueling and a joyless chore, and the payoff is far away

and many people get turned off by that
