Why is it so hard to ask for an option that isn't genocide?
There are 2 sets of voters in this nation.
Those who want to solve the problems we face, and those who just want to kick the can down the road for someone else while rich people get richer.
If you vote for republicans or democrats, you're in the latter camp.
It really puts things into perspective when you think about it like this.
If you want to move the Overton window, you vote. That's the perspective you need.
The Overton window is not something that can be changed electorally. Candidates can only get on the ballot in the first place if they’re within the Overton window, as anybody outside the window is “radical” or “extreme”, and the existing political powers forbid their candidacy. The electoral window is moved outside the electoral process, and only then can the electoral system permit new candidates with new ideas.
Lol yes it can. Why are we having idiotic discussion to disband the EPA? Because Trump won an election. That moved the Overton window, drastically at that. Why can't Biden do ______? Because the Republicans still have a very real chance of winning. When the GOP has no chance of winning, then the Overton window can move more.
Then Biden should be listening to the people he's depending on to get re-elected.
You get more from the center than you do the fringes. Aka you can't do radical policy unless you know you'll still win.
Well here's a poll.

So... were just ignoring the current candidates? And the current debates and policies that each have pushed?
