Happens about February-March of every election year (the, ahem, independent media goes out of its way to induce it). Get ready for the next lib wave, and a bunch of iterations of the following script, which they've been practicing since like 1999:

1. "Eh, I disagree with [Democrat candidate] on a lot of things, but to pretend he's not better than [Republican candidate] is just delusional."
1. "Yeah, I know [Democratic candidate] is a war criminal and complicit in a genocide, but have you considered that [Republican candidate] is a war criminal as well, plus he said rude things about [minority group]? In the interest of harm reduction for Americans only, I have a duty to vote Democrat."
1. "Your vote actually does matter."
1. "The only reason the Democrats aren't Wholesome Progressive Scandinavian Model Chungus is because they have to play politics with the Republicans. You have to recognize the reality of a two-party system."
1. "We can push the Democrats left."
1. "Such-and-such Democratic policy (usually the Affordable Care Act) was actually really progressive."
1. "My [minority group] partner, whom I've never mentioned up to this point and very possibly just made up, is voting Democrat." (This tactic also gets used by libs defending porn and/or prostitution, e.g. "my totally-real girlfriend loves it when I post videos of us having sex online").
1. "If even one less person dies because [Democratic candidate] is in office, it's my moral duty to vote for [Democratic candidate]. I am a mature, compassionate person who absolutely understands socialism."

We can push the Democrats left.

To quote the Seppo Declaration of Independence, "all experience hath shewn"

"For the past fifty years we've been relentlessly pushing the Democrats left, and now with Joe Biden we have the most progressive administration in US history" (shuts ears and proceeds to ignore FDR, who whatever his faults at least didn't arm Nazis).

While FDR didn't arm nazis, I did find this:

I can somewhat understand FDR's possible reasoning, but regardless.

We're talking about American presidents, remember, so the bar is pretty low.
