No?
Then please explain how this works. This image isn't doing it for me.
If the republicans win, it goes further right. If the democrats win, it stays where it is. So the only movement is to the right, never left.
That simply explains what's visible in the image, not whatsoever why.
Like, why is this the general assumption?
If this were true, there wouldn't ever have been a democratic president, right? Except maybe once in the beginning?
I think you're taking this a bit more seriously than it's intended to be, but yeah, there have been Democrat presidents, but there still isn't gun control, univseral healthcare (not even for children!), etc.
Politicians are walking a fine line between catering to what the people want and deciding on things that actually benefit the people. It's a difficult thing. Should politicians represent the people, or should they have the mandate to make decisions the people may not agree with but are better for the people.
At the very least, they shouldn't make decisions that benefit only themselves and their rich friends. 💀
I have a hard time taking this as a joke, if it was intended as one, because there were very serious discussions regarding this before and after the election.
What?
😐... where exactly did I lose you? Just asking "What?" doesn't really help me to answer you. What is your actual question, please?
