    The Dems are centrist gop policies from the 80s. Obama is right of reagan.

    Some people are really suckered by the Overton window in the USA.

      So in your world, Obama was like murdering gay people with his own hands or something?

      I hate this argument because it reduces politics to economic policies. If you can’t see that the US has made significant social progress since the 80s, then this conversation will likely be a waste of time for both of us.

        Obama extra judicially killed a us citizen. His hands aren’t clean. There is no argument. I’m merely pointing out that Obama policies are right of Reagans.

        Facts don’t care about your feelings remember. You can hate the fact all you want.

        The whole point is if you’re expecting Dems to pull us left you’ve got a rude Awakening coming.

      What point are you trying to make? That the Dems are fiscally responsible option or something because not really, they both spend like crazy. And yeah US politics have shifted to the right, I’m not fucking suckered in by that we literally have two options because well that’s just how things when you are working off of an outdated document from the fucking 1700’s that can’t be updated effectively…Overton window has shifted a bit since then too.
