Neoconservatism ruled the last 40 years but it's not even a "conservative" doctrine. It's a bipartisan Zionist foreign policy. Trump is a knee jerk response to Dems alienating people with centrist social opinions, Republicans shipping jobs overseas and both of them sustaining pointless forever wars.

Sounds a lot like the “both sides are the same” argument with more steps. If people voted left wing then the politicians would go left wing.
Neither the Dems nor the Reps are left. Further, that isn't how electoralism works, parties don't change their position if they recieve mass support, but if they don't, and only up to the extent their donors allow. In the US, this means Capitalists, ergo the Dems will never be a Leftist party.

Glad to see you endorsing voting third party
Did not say that. If everyone kept voting left then both parties would move left.
Yeah, so people should vote left, which means voting third party

From an outsider's perspective it seems like the Democrats behave like that because the US electorate is genuinely right-wing and need pandered to.

What a shit show. (Not an American, btw)
I wonder, how many "both sides" Americans who didn't vote (or voted third party) expected Democrats to win anyway. This way they could feel smug for not "voting for genocide" while still getting the clearly better option.
Now they have to pretend they didn't fuck up and act as if having a "protect the status quo" democrat wouldn't have been any better.
As an lndian, l know to what kind of human beings we hand over our sovereignty.
