Gregory's ServerWhen Reagon won, after Democrats completely abandoned the New Deal as well as its success, they learned the completely wrong lesson and began chasing Republicans further to the right as they believed they needed to appear more moderate in order to win elections. This cycle continues to this day.

Remember when the entire BLM movement had a singular common denominator, which was “defund the police”? And Joe Biden used the crowd and mass of the movement which got him to be president, only to then, right after being elected, increase police funding more than Trump ever did? Only so that far right news outlets wouldn't slander him so much (which they still did, this plan always fails). Exactly that, over and over. Disappoint your own base, enact Republican's policies, wonder why no one votes for you anymore.  It's always so cute to see all those discussions about politics in countries where election results aren't predetermined, and where there are multiple legitimately competing forces. Like how does it even work, you vote for someone and your vote actually affects something beyond you feeling good for having done the right thing? @grishka I voted for the Greens in 2021 in the federal elections in Germany and I have never felt worse about whom I gave my vote ever since 😂 And yes, it works exactly like that :P Erik Uden 🥥🌴🍑, I signed for Nadezhdin, and then, when he was denied to run for the president for made-up reasons, I voted for Davankov. Do I feel good for having done both these things? Absolutely. But that's about it. In Russia, you vote for conscience's sake. |
Nowadays, Third Wave Democrats continue doing the same thing — instead of recognizing that all major losses come from dropping well supported and progressive policies, they continue chasing the new (far right) center. All of this whilst having ironically arrived at doing Reagon era economic politics, which Republicans nowadays call “radical leftism”.
