The right exists because leftists turn up their nose at anyone who isn't perfectly aligned with their exact policy positions. If leftists stopped pretending that protest votes accomplished literally anything, we could have had actual leftists in office by now.

Republicans fall in line, which is why they have the power to enforce their terrible policies. Leftists fall in love, which is why they can't scrape together enough of a caucus to actually do anything.

But sure, keep equivocating status quo neo-libs with literal fascists.

Also no idiot. The right exists because the libs dont give a rat ass about the working class. Best case scenario they will throw them a bone and pretend they're the good guy.

Also the far-right exist because they are racist assholes. Don't give them absolution.
