It seems people love drawing lines in the sand, just to vilify those who step over, even momentarily. It’s the middle-ground politicians on both sides that are actually pushing worthwhile legislation.

For example, nationwide stimulus checks during Covid: a Romney initiative. But he has an R by his name, so I guess nothing he does matters. “It wasn’t enough”, “it was just for optics,” etc. The right absolutely moves goalposts, but that doesn’t mean supporters on the left are innocent of doing the exact same thing.
