    Took over the Democrats? Bill Clinton gleefully gave them the party and theyve been shifting further to the right since

      Democracy only works when parties hold each other accountable for the good of the country. Republicans have abandoned this since before Clinton. Blaming the Democrats for the Republicans moving the goalposts is the cancer at the heart of US politics.

        Why do democrats make no effort to move the goalposts back?

          That’s how they’re ratchet effect works. Republicans push regressive legislation further to the right, and Democrats prevent it from going back.

        Democrats are colluding with Republicans to move those goal posts. And I keep moving it further and further to the right every election.
