Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

Just a reminder: voting for the lesser of two evils has not ever resulted in the Democratic party stopping their march to the extreme right right alongside the GOP, to the point now that in order to vote for the Democratic nominee one must accept that their vote goes to supporting a genocide.

"Their march to the extreme far right"

Tell me you don't know history, or remember even 10 years ago, without telling me you don't know history or remember 10 years ago.

What lessons from history were overlooked?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Please compare the Democratic Party in 2024 to the following periods of the Democratic Party:

2012

2004

1992

1980

1968

1960

1952

Then, subsequently, trace their 'march to the extreme far right'.

Yes there was a massive Lurch right in the 90s. Since then the Democrats have waffled extremely hard. Flirting with moving back left slightly but often retracting back to their '90s positions. But there have been a few solid moves to the left in the last 20 years. Nowhere near enough of course. But some is always better than none.
