2026 Elections: To the Midterms and Beyond!

[Kepler]

The Overton Window for the US currently all but excludes the Left. Nor have we ever had a Hard Left federally. Eugene V. Debs is the closest we have ever gotten.

The Schumer Dems are Center-Right on economics and Center-Left on social issues.

Bernie and AOC are garden variety Center-Leftist on economics.

Sigh.
I was just trying to lend some perspective on why people might start to feel as if they don't have a party to identify with.
As per usual the responses are largely Ad Hominems and False Equivalencies.

Sorry the facts don't agree with your feelings.

Really? We were talking about your folks feelings that they don't have a political party right now (which very much mirrors my folks btw) - and 1 and 2 posts later people are throwing out crap about white supremacists and BS about black people not being people? Get real. Comparing a govt run grocery store to the bipartisan chips act? You don't think that's a false equivalency?
