    We can’t realize because it is objectively untrue. Like, the right just keeps moving right and has been doing so for many decades. They’re not just lagging behind but actively doing as much as they can to obstruct progress and even undoing as much of it as they possibly can. It’s pushed even the very idea of “the left” towards the middle so when you get someone even slightly left who hasn’t changed their views at all speaking up people think they’re “moving further left”.

    Again, there’s nothing there to realize because you comment is just completely and easily fact-checked to be wrong.

      I wish the left was as far left as it used to be. Roosevelt or even LBJ would be a welcome shift from the corporate Democratic party that Clinton thought he needed to counter Reaganism.
