    It’s a politicians job to cater to the people who actually vote. Moderates vote so democrats cater to them.

    Republicans took voters from democrats by running ads that blamed “radical leftists democrats and their progressive policies” for inflation and every other problem under the sun.

    Along with the leftists that didn’t vote this was enough to give the win to facists.

    This is how US politics ratchets to the right.

    Because leftists don’t vote for politicians that must cater to more than just leftists to win.

      Give me any reasonable source other than your ass that shows registered voters left of center stayed home instead of voting. I’d wager much more undecided centrists did, because they didn’t care which of the two right wing parties won. It would be an asspull as well, but mine at least has some reason behind it, while yours just blames the left for being bad and stupid and stinky.
