Nominating a woman of colour isn't indicative of a shift left. It's keeping in pattern of making aesthetic and not substantive changes.
This comic kind of nails it.

They haven't moved right, they've always had questionable foreign policy in the Middle East, that's a US consistency.
You will try and dismiss anything that hurts your narrative, but a black female candidate is a massive deal, not just aesthetic.
What you're essentially saying is you find the Democrats aren't really liberal enough for you and have too much in common with the right.
That's fine for you to have the perspective but it's not indicative of any
shift to the right. That's America and they've always been that way.
I just don't get the need to pretend everyone else is moving to the extreme right to justify your own perspectives. Just own them without trying to put others in little boxes.
