You are 100% correct.

Look at OPs meme and ask the obvious question: "Why is this moving to the right, and not to the left? Aren't both options equally possible?"

The answer is that it moves to the side that wins elections.

"Why is the right winning elections" is the much much better question to ask. In the meantime, do everything you can to move the center in the other direction one step at a time, and that doesn't come about by losing elections while standing on principle.

That's what I've always thought, it feels like the dems instead of compromising on ideology they should look for policies that benefit the rural Americans that feel increasingly excluded from the society happening in cities. Just throw them farming subsidies for small to mid sized farms, benefits for undeveloped land, agricultural loans for the energy transition to help them conform to new climate regulations.

Then maybe even throw in benefits for rural fire departments and so on are all democrat ideology policies. When the right becomes unelectable people move left.
