One can’t rise to power without the other. Liberals shifting to the right and ratcheting that position in to prevent it from slipping back is what’s created the current worldwide political situation.
Non voters and socialists didn’t put trump in power, Democrats refusing to acknowledge their part in helping their party shift to the right and never holding them accountable did that. Democrats openly embraced right wing war criminals, zionists, and blowing Republicans dog whistles regarding guns did that
You may dislike it, but the electorate clearly wanted to support Israel, and not regulate guns. The Democrats strategized to maximize the chance of winning by sounding more right wing. They are still quite a bit further to the left that the gop, and not nearly as bat shit crazy. The choice was clear. If you chose not to effectively vote against trump, you voted for him. If you think that’s a long term benifit, so be it. But don’t complain - you got what you voted for.
Policy wise they are barely left of Republicans and if we overlaid today’s political scale and that from 1980, Democrats would be to the far right of Reagan.
Ok. If you’re happy with all the deportations, support of pedophiles, bombing of fishermen, trashing the economy with tariffs, etc, then I guess you’re happy with your failure to vote against that. All good.
Trump has been Obama and Biden’s legacy. Liberal failure to hold their own party accountable has led to people like Trump. Despite all of Trump’s deportations he has still not topped the number of people Obama deported nor has he denied due process to the same number of people that Obama denied. The bombing of fisherman is about oil, the same cause of all the bombings in the ME. This is what Democrats voted for by allowing their party to turn into right wing reactionaries

So that makes it ok to enable trump and the gop policies?
