So this image is positing that "left" is lesser evil and "right" is greater evil.

Just before line two, the greater evil has won. Because more people voted for the greater evil.

If more people had voted for the lesser evil, lines two through four would be reversed, and the result would be less evil.

Of course, the whole thing presumes that bOtH sIdEs are some unacceptable level of evil. Now, don't get me wrong, there are problems that need resolving, regardless of what kind of politics is involved. How and whether those problems get solved depends heavily on what kind of politics is involved.

That assumes they're adjusting based on votes, and I don't think they are. I think they chasing the window of public discourse on social issues (which is largely fabricated to start with) and moving as far right as they think they can get away with on governance

if the votes don't matter our society should just get more extreme in both directions and not one, unless the votes only matter for either the left or the right in which case voting would either benefit the left or weaken the right
