“communist” (and “woke” and other epithets) is a term of tribal identity. The Dems could lean fully into Handmaid’s Tale christofascism in the name of bipartisanship and they’d still be “communists”, for the same reason a rival sports team are still the enemy despite no ideological difference.

You could improve this a bit by having the Cheneys vertically aligned. I think that would get the point across better.

Good Idea! I did not even notice I did that. Just thought of it as zoomed in on him.

Okay but the Dems of the 90s and early 2000s were significantly more right-wing than the Dems in the late 10s and early 20s.

The GOP has moved right, but the Dems largely have not. It's just that the Dems are still insufficiently left to solve any of the problems facing us.

Of course, they don't want to give up that sweet corporate cash flow if they go too far left of Reagan. Citizens United needs to be repealed.

Citizens United needs to be repealed.

Yes. Fuck the ACLU.

The ACLU is great. I meant the Citizens United v FEC ruling.

but the republican party still calls you a communist.

Who's cozying up to Russia, China, and North Korea?! (Although those places communist in name only)

Russia hasn't been communist in name since 1991...

Sorry. I'm a product of the American education system.

Imagine believing that liberals have "moved right" when they've always been there.
