      I think it's an illusion of duopolistic politics. Because there's only two available options, people think that said options on offer must necessarily be exemplary of their class, and representative of the most pure-strain version of whatever ideology ostensibly differentiates them from their opponents.

      It's the radical left transing our genders and their critical race theory! I don't think Dems are the ones who think this.

        I don’t think Dems are the ones who think this.

        too many dems are brainwormed suburbanites who think both parties are "too extreme" no matter how hard the democrats actually "reach across the aisle." They view Republicans being obstinate in the face of weak opposition as evidence that the weak opposition isn't "cooperating" enough.

          Fair point. I suppose the bidenites and mayo peter supporters aren't satisfied until every politician is like their guy

          It's because the media constantly tells them this narrative. Even as you say when the Dems bend over backwards so hard to "work with" the Republicans that they just adopt the Republican policy positions from like 5 years ago.

          It really doesn't matter what happens in DC, the narrative the major media outlets spread is what most people believe. I wish more leftist realized the absolute power in media because it really is the keystone of oligarchical control. And the weakest point as well.

          Even lightly lefty outlets that are self professed "progressives" are a huge step up from the coordinated narrative that the traditional American media sends out.

      Doing nothing on Covid or the environment is an extremist position.

      Correct in the sense that they're effective at what they're actually meant to do

        If 36% of us know the democratic party's function is to defuse social movements and let social tension cool down until the reactionary party can take power again, what are we waiting for? The revolution should be over by now.

    Falls in line with the standard of "Dems = femme coded smarter but weak and woke, Republicans = masc coded, strong but a bit too dumb" shit that has been said about the parties for decades.

        Lovely that American Media is just randomly blocked because they refuse to follow any guidelines regarding dataprotection. Guess thats the price we pay for freedom(tm)
