Not the person you are replying to, but as someone who is most definetly not right, or centre, I find the democrats very half hearted.
I don't think that you voting for the better of the two makes you right wing (you are limited by the options you have, and by the reality of the impact of your vote), but I do hope the next Democrat administration has the courage to just dictate through executive orders to give Medicade for all, etc, since they have the cover of the current adminstrations trying to create rules to make it all legal.

Just for reference, even at the best possible outcome of elections, your life is going to get dramatically harder over the next 10 years because of all the shit Trump did. Jobs are gonna disappear, your house value is going to go down, everything will be more expensive, and your options abroad will be MUCH more limited. No amount of policy is going to fix the seeded distrust that the world has against US, and thats not going to change anytime soon. If we ever return to some normalcy, then we can have a discussion about the faults with Dems. Because right now, this rhetoric is akin to being on a sinking ship, and your options are either to be torn apart by sharks in the water, or be on a lifeboat, and you are saying the lifeboat sucks because it doesn't have a sun shade.
