Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

I don't think they're trying to both sides it. Democrats are center right on their best days, that's just a fact.
Wrong and misinformation spread by Putin to try to disseminate hate towards democrats. First paragraph from Wikipedia:
"The platform of the Democratic Party of the United States is generally based on modern liberalism, contrasting with the conservatism of the Republican Party. The party generally sits on the center-left of the American political spectrum. Currently, the party has large centrist[1][2][3][4] and progressive[5][6] wings, as well as smaller fiscal conservative[7] and democratic socialist elements.[8]"
And you can claim that compared to -insert country here- that Democrats are right wing but it doesn't matter. When Republicans complain about the left they are complaining about Democrats and everyone to the left of them. In American politics, Democrats are left-wing. And those other countries are shifting rightwards as well. Stop falling for psyops bullshit from Russia and tankies.
Emphasis mine.
This is where having broader knowledge is useful in making comparisons. The American Overton Window has been ratcheted so far to the right that a center-right party appears center left as actual progressive/leftist politics are considered ridiculous by the population. Your Bernie Sanders is barely left but he's referred to by many as an extremist.
Consider what center-left looks like in Iran. It's certainly much farther right than the equivalent in the US.
Did you read the rest of my comment? What happens in other countries doesn't relate to American politics and even in these "left" countries you speak of they are also having their Overton windows shift right. Europe isn't some leftist utopia.
They don’t do much. Biden started to roll back reaganomics but that’s being gutted now.
That's because tankie idiots decided they'd rather have Trump than anything even close to progressive politics.
