Thats how this is supposed to work. A collective of different perspectives all place votes for their and their families/communities best interest.

Democrats are really struggling to accept that half the country isnt better off under their administrations.

Are Dems improving things, or improving them fast enough? No. But I think the reality of today is that the only ones not better off under a Dem administration are wealthy people and bigots who want society to be a white supremacist hierarchy. I'm not saying people are well off, I am saying the alternative is worse, and by a lot.

If it were not possible to win an election as a MAGA the political parties would have to move further left. Instead we have Dems looking back on elections and deciding to move further right in attempt to pick up voters who actually cast a ballot.

This will never happen, because the source of MAGA is Capitalist decay, as I explained in another comment already.

You did write that. But you cannot tell the difference between New York arresting protestors who deliberately enter a fenced off area as civil disobedience and the federal government doing black vans and urging violence. So I don't know if I trust your perspective or opinions on much of anything.

I can tell the difference, and I can tell the similarities as well.

99% of the population is worse off under their competition, so there's still not really much of a choice.
