So I said the party has become more “conservative” since 2012…
And you quoted something from 2010 and some stuff about the 90s?
Then another link from 2019 before Biden and Kamala?
Like, it’s 2024…
The party has become more “conservative” from 2012.
If we started the clock in the 90s when Clinton was in office, then it would be different. If we started the clock in 2020 after Biden moved the party to the right. It would be different.
I picked 2012 to highlight any gains made under Obama have been erased.
I was implying that is the reason why we still can’t out perform Obama’s 08 and even 12 results.
Hard disagree. 2008 was before the GOP took control of statewide redistricting to gerrymander and maintain power in a bunch of states and cement an advantage that they still have (which took place in 2010). 2012 was just two years into the effort, but the weaker result there is already showing off the results.
The reason for the rightward shift? It’s because of that.

Does that make sense now?
i think their relevant point, that in 1996 Clinton set the current anti-immigration policy that is the standard today, is lost in a big wall of text
Yep, came here to say exactly this!
