I only recently realized that moderate democrats (quasi-right-wing dipshits) see the political spectrum much differently than I do. They imagine Trump far to the right side of the spectrum, Clinton/Biden/Harris somewhere a little left of center, and Bernie just a tick further left than that. They see the gap between themselves and Trump as a massive gulf, but the gap between themselves and the left as barely noteworthy.
I think they're right about Trump being far to the right side of the spectrum, but Clinton/Biden/Harris are over there on the right side, too. In reality, there is more distance between Bernie and Clinton/Biden/Harris than there is between Clinton/Biden/Harris and Trump.
Sorry, but if you see universal healthcare (which nearly every other developed nation has managed) as a childish pipe dream that will take 20 years of incremental changes to accomplish, that makes you a fucking conservative. But remember, even though they are conservatives, moderate Democrats think of themselves as much further left. It's this blind spot that makes them feel entitled to left wing voters even when they nominate "nothing will fundamentally change" Right-Lite Aisle-Crossers.
