The pendulum as to swing all the way before it swings the other way.
Ratchet effect baby!
Me, I think that's effectively bullshit, and here's that same image posted, with my reply:

I agree that Democrats are the only option to take down the radical right party. However, there is a point in the Democrat hierarchy after which there are only corporate interests and donors to please.
It is true that Democrats are more maleable and can be made to serve the people. This does not contradict the fact that their mismanagement and lack of advertising their wins makes them lose in the public opinion. It is disgusting that there were videos of Democrats covering their ears at Gaza protestors.
I really hope that the American people can help Democrats win the midterms and radically reduce the executive branch power while also reducing the lobbying power of big corporations before we reach technofeudalism.
Eh, I'd say its more that it swings a unit one way, then 1.5 the other, then 2 units back, then 2.5 the other.
