I've been accused of being an "enlightened centrist" when I criticize both Trump and Biden.

Except I'm criticizing them from way over on the far-left.

It's like that astrophysics phenomenon where the spectrum shifts to one side. I guess redshift in this case since their more far right party is the red one.

The American Right: "We should subjugate and oppress anyone who isn't a straight white christian."

The American Left: "That seems a little aggressive, how about a compromise where we just oppress them a little bit?"

Actual Leftists: "What in the actual fuck...?"
