How do you move the Overton window? By voting in the most left candidate possible and not letting the far right win elections.

*People hella mad about basic things like this.

I've been doing this for 24 years. When should I expect it to start working?

Just think about how much worse it would be.

When the most left leaning candidate is right leaning I moves the overton window right

If the right wing candidate is a far right fascist, you prevent it moving to far right fascist. Shut that down and then next time they won't run a far right fascist and guess what the Overton window moves left.

Case in point: they are running a far right fascist again because they think he can win. If he was shut down the first time, the Overton window would have moved left.
