    the Overton Window is shaped by what is acceptable to voters

    No. It’s shaped by what’s acceptable to the media, politicians, and their owner donors.

    Much more often than not, the vast majority of voters don’t get to choose beyond harm reduction by choosing the lesser evil. Which is still an evil.

    Political policy is being dictated by forces other than what voters find acceptable.

    Yup. 🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀
