I am so tired of this "both sides" argument the mainstream media loves to make. In what universe is the "far left" in control? I mean Bernie Sanders is a progressive politician, but he has cooperated with Biden. And Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez is progressive, but to my knowledge she ended up having a functional relationship with Speaker Pelosi. The Democratic leadership in Congress is conventionally left of center, and even the most progressive politicians voted to support this leadership. There is a progressive faction within the Democrats yes, but at the end of the day they have been cooperative instead of obstructionist like Gaetz, Boebert, et. al. And unlike the GOP, the Democrats are not obsessed with litmus tests like fealty to Trump or election denialism. So stop with the "both sides" argument. It's dangerous and inaccurate and downplays the extremism of the far right.
