Classic always-works strategy of democrats running further to the right to outflank republicans. Famously worked out well.

Truman nuking Japan, instigating Korean War, bringing the world to first brink of nuclear war by allowing his generals to run wild in the pacific threatening China constantly. Domestically cracking down on post-war unions which had taken a beating as to not undermine the WWII production efforts. Not continuing FDRs popular and successful New Deal type reforms and just going fully into anti-communist fervor.

Kennedy staking out the anti-communist position against Nixon of all people. Outflanking republicans so hard that it led to botched attack on Cuba and nuclear missile crisis.

LBJ with Vietnam

Carter introducing the country to neoliberal austerity bullshit and basically telling Americans to "be realistic" with visions of possible futures.

Bill Clinton being basically Reagan's 4th and 5th terms just cranking the neoliberalism dial up

Got bored in there but whatever. Point is liberals/democrats are cucks and also just stupid. Unless their goal is to continue failed policies and continue doing the Republican agenda, which I mean... even if not their goal it happened anyway. Is still happening like look at that Gestapo ass border bill proposed by a fucking democrat President. Insane, dogshit country.
