Free pet food, which isn't even a thing, vs shooting American citizens in the face, deploying troops as police, starting new wars, deploying your un-elected and un-appointed family members to act as representatives of the government. I could go on and on. In the US we have the extreme right and we have just left of center, there is no appreciable extreme left here. We don't even have universal health care, Israel has that for fucks sake.
I don't know who's proposing tax paid pet food but is it that surprising more people would rather spend money on that than on wars in the middle east?
I can afford pet food; it is the taxpayer-funded {pet|human} healthcare that I want.
One party is pushing for ranked-choice voting, whereas the other party is against it and even banning it by law everywhere they can.
Where do you live that a center-right party winning over a highly corrupt Putin aligned extreme right wing party is choosing between two extremes?
Did… did you just say that “ICE murdering civilians” and “free pet food” are… equally extreme?
What if those pets are lions and their preferred food is people? Ever think of that???
And NOBODY is talking about dogs with bees in their mouth that when they bark, they shoot bees at you. Nobody.
Well, I for one will absolutely start talking about it now that you have opened my eyes to the situation.
Extremes? Are you joking? The US "Left wing" is most other countries right-wing.
I think the point is more that there's no middle ground to distribute opinions more evenly.
Primary voters seem to disagree.
That's not really the same tho. In primaries, everything is still under one party. It's hard for outsiders to enter and spread their message.
One party is pushing for ranked-choice voting, whereas the other party is against it and even banning it by law everywhere they can.
If you want more choice, vote Democratic.

I live in Toronto and we just had a mayoral election where there was 53 candidates on the ballot. I've been joking with my friends about how much better rank choice voting would be, it might just take an hour to fill out your ballot.
I don't disagree.
Where in the world do you live with an overton window smaller than the USA's? I think the general stance would be to feel sorry for US citizens having to pick between hardline corrupt right or neo-liberal establishment right, hardly a large gap between them. Even by US standards the current democrats are more right than when someone like Sanders was still in the running.
At least in Texas there was a huge Corruption Gap for the Senate.
