This is true, but it's also STILL WORSE to vote for the greater evil. You need to change the options available to you to fix this.

It's also true that you get backlashes normally if the system doesn't get to far out of wack. FDR wasnt right of Hoover Coolridge and Harding. Sure one can argue overall we were shifting to the right... But we were NEVER going to be left of center so long as the U.S. existed, because the constitution is built on capitalism. Capitalism has a slow decay, can it be fixed? Maybe. Is it fixable now, maybe not. Could we have fixed it if we followed Carter with a closer to center President instead of Reagan, A LOT easier to have done it then... It took 60 years to get taxes on the rich to this point.

I don't think the constitution is very capitalist tbh
