    you cannot - I repeat cannot - move the Overton window left by voting for right-wingers.

    Yes you can. You can lower the temperature of something by pouring over it something hot, but less hot than what you’re trying to cool down.

    In the same way, voting for a right-winger over a far right-winger will shift the Overton window to the left. Because left and right are relative terms, like the other guy was trying to say.

      ROFLMAO!

      If that was true, liberal, you wouldn’t be in this pickle, would you? How long have you libs been voting for the “lesser evil” now?

      The only thing you get when you pour liberalism over fascism is fascism that burns harder. In fact, you don’t get fascism without liberalism providing it with fuel and fertilizer.

      But hey… go ahead. Try and solve this problem with “more of the same.” Maybe “thoughts and prayers” will start magically working, too.

        Remind me the last time the US had three consecutive Democratic terms? 80 years ago? Not sure why you’re saying something isn’t working when it hasn’t even happened.

          Is that the miracle you are waiting for, lib?

          Careful there… you might end up making the MAGAs look less delusional in comparison to you if you carry on like this.
