I can answer this. I’ve found myself gliding further left on some issues, while also distancing myself from other issues that the Democratic Party finds itself championing. Generally, I would probably most closely align with Bernie Sanders’s ideology. For me, moving right does not mean I would ever vote republican. They’re not a party of anything in particular other than obstructionism, identity politics, and institutional self-destruction for the enrichment of a very small (<0.1%) group of Americans and corporations. That said, some things I trend more “right” than I used to, as a consequence of living in San Francisco: - Highly addictive drug use should not be a free for all, it should be aggressively curtailed. This doesn’t need to be punitively, but I don’t think institutionalizing and forced rehab is strictly wrong. I also have no problem with increased taxes funding this. - Homelessness is not a right. Common space in cities is not a place for us to let the lowest of society collect and inhabit. - Crime should be punished, and organized crime/gangs should be aggressively snuffed out. This almost sounds like an absurd statement to make, but SF/Oakland DA’s have taken the stance that prosecuting crime is inherently racist, and essentially opt to release criminals rather than charge them. - Race based affirmative action/reparations/benefits should not exist. These are great ideas on paper, but they are radicalizing to other systemically oppressed groups (e.g. poor white people end up pissed off and alienated, and align with the Republican Party, despite it being completely opposed to their own interests) For anyone reading, this is just some personal takes in response to the question. I’m not looking to have a political debate on here.
