"Ratcheting effect" toward right is becoming stronger? (lemmy.world)

To me, it seems like Harris's speech at the DNC indicated a strong move to the right. Seems like she's going to campaign on have the "most lethal military," stopping immigration, and being tough on crime.

To my knowledge, this seems like a radical shift. I don't think Obama campaigned as far right. I wasn't old enough during Clinton's reign to really follow politics, but I guess he presided over the "3 strikes" policy and weakening of SSI/SSD benefits?

The right has just gone so far off the right wing deep end that normal democrats appear to have moved to the right in comparison.
