      The upside of that is it works against their overton window dragging, if you are going to be called a commie leftist no matter what might as well lean into it

        How does it work against overton window dragging if saying “maybe people should stop dying of preventable disease in the wealthiest country on earth” gets you labelled a communist? It’s precisely the sign that the overton window is shifted to the far right
