How much has the left really compromised, and on what?

[BCRanger10]

I see this picture on social media every so often...

How many of them really believe this and where does this idea come from?

Here is what I see happening.

• Conservatives rallying behind no less than four former Democrats in, Donald Trump, RFK, jr., Elon Musk, and Tulsi Gabbard.
• Republicans have softened on abortion. For instance, the 2016 RNC platform mentions abortion 35 and the sanctity of life in this regard such three times. The 2024 platform just mentions late term abortions, and only once.
• On LGBT issues, the 2016 RNC platform formally defines marriage as between one man and one woman four times. The 2024 platform simply says "the sanctity of marriage", and again, just once. Donald Trump was also the first Republican candidate to enter the White House supporting same-sex marriage.
• Conservatives, from what I've seen, are now less enthusiastic about going to war and the death penalty.

On the other hand, on abortion, the left went from "it's a personal matter, leave the poor girls alone" and "safe, legal, and rare" in 2007 to "Shout Your Abortion" in 2015. How many left-wingers can you think of who have shifted to the right on LGBT issues, climate change, universal healthcare, immigration, and such?

So again, where is the left getting this idea that they've compromised on everything and are practically indistinguishable from the Moral Majority of the 1980s? And how many of them actually believe this anyway?

USA America hasn't compromised, it is compromised.!!

Compromised by the oligarchs that MAGA supports in some delusional deranged trade-off for social issues that are specifically designed to agitate and scare them into voting Republicans when in actuality they're getting fucked by those Republicans and have been for the past 50 years.

The compromise is that we cannot have a safe, empathetic, just, equitable, and respectful society where capitalism is defanges of all of its ugliness and negative externalities

I agree. I truly don’t know wtf they’re talking about cuz it seems like all they ever do is keep moving left.

I mean ffs 15-20 years ago all this BLM, woke and transgenderism stuff was completely non-existent.

Now its found its way into the mainstream

I'm now convinced that they're just simply hateful. Like spiritual people focus their mind on goodness at all times, lefitst freaks have it the opposite way. The always look for ways to show their hate toward those who do not signal allegiance to extrene leftism. What could you expect from them though, they believe hate has no spiritual consequences.

They compromised themselves on corporate money. But the right has gone faaarrr right. So much center minded “rinos” are too afraid to run for primary.

[BCRanger10]

Okay. Amuse me. On what and how?

[OddBeMe]

Sorry this is news? Rings are centrists being forced out. Right?

[BCRanger10]

[OddBeMe]

So centrists are bad. Far right repubs win. Boom.
